Pacific University Increases Opportunities for Students


Pacific University is a small private, independent liberal arts school, offering graduate programs in education, optometry, writing, and health professions—located on four campuses in the state of Oregon in the cities of Forest Grove, Portland, Eugene and Hillsboro. Their director of research and assessment Wil O’Shea visited with us at the 2011 U.S. Tableau Customer Conference to share how Pacific is using Tableau to help university leaders make data-driven decisions.

"I needed something different; the tools I had weren't quick enough. Tableau is intuitive; it's quick; it's beautiful. It brings a lot of power. It really does what you need."
