North Pacific College was a private, post-secondary educational institution located in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon.
[2] After competing for a short time, the two dental schools merged in 1900 to create the North Pacific College of Dentistry.
[2] The school added the North Pacific College of Pharmacy in 1908,[4] and moved into a new building in 1910 at the corner of northeast Sixth Avenue and Oregon Street.
[7] In 1940, alumnus Dr. Newton Uyesugi and Dr. Roy Clunas purchased the College of Optometry from Dr. Harry Lee Fording.
[3] Part of the reasoning was the lack of affiliation with a full-university, an issue Dr. Miller had long advocated for a solution by joining the University of Oregon.
[2][11] On July 1, 1945, North Pacific Dental College joined the University of Oregon.
[2] On August 1 of that same year the optometry program joined Forest Grove's Pacific University.
