UOP International (UOPI) is the name of the partnership between the University of the Pacific and Shorelight Education, LLC. UOPI, located in Elbert Covell Hall, operates International Accelerator Programs, assists the university in attracting international students to study at Pacific, and runs an intensive English language program for students wishing to improve their language skills for academic study at UOP or other universities in the U.S.
The International Accelerator Programs, known as IAP, are non-degree granting programs that allow students to obtain English language proficiency, study skills and academic credit such that students may matriculate to Pacific with advanced standing (at the undergraduate level) or into graduate programs (at the graduate level). The IAP also includes the International Direct process, that provides degree seeking (undergraduate or graduate) students with enhanced skills and experiences to increase their chances of success at the University.
