Corban is a private university in the Pacific Northwest with an 85-year history of educating Christians to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Situated on a beautiful forested hillside overlooking Oregon’s capital, Corban is only an hour from Portland, the Cascade Mountains, and the Oregon coast. Academic excellence at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels, as well as online, prepares students for careers as business leaders, educators, medical professionals, politicians, ministry leaders, and more. Expert faculty with professional career experience remain active in their fields while building mentoring relationships with students. Outside the classroom, a tight-knit student community and opportunities for local and global engagement provide for students’ growth through short-term mission trips, study abroad programs, and overseas teaching connections. In addition to academic excellence, Corban is known for athletic excellence, as Corban athletes compete—and win—in 17 intercollegiate sports. Corban Warriors have earned 39 Conference Championships as well as five consecutive Presidents’ Cup Academic Awards, which denote academic excellence among athletes. Corban seeks to provide not only a quality education but also an affordable one. 99% of students receive financial aid, via academic, athletic, music, and major-specific scholarships, among others.
