Our Mission
Mission
Warner Pacific is an urban, Christian liberal arts college dedicated to providing students from diverse backgrounds an education that prepares them for the spiritual, moral, social, vocational and technological challenges of the 21st century.
Vision
We will be internationally-recognized for rigorous academic standards, expression of Christian values, innovation, leadership development, student-centered services and fiscal strength.
Values
As a contemporary Christian learning community, Warner Pacific College values being Christ-centered, people-focused, excellence-driven and future-directed.
Embracing Paradox
We encourage interdisciplinary learning and invite honest questioning through a foundation of faith. As a result, faculty members have created a core curriculum rooted in the notion of paradox that challenges students to engage with life’s most difficult questions.
The Warner Pacific College experience additionally offers:
- Small classes: Our 13-to-one student-to-faculty ratio translates into the individualized attention and intellectual interaction that meaningful scholarship requires. Close academic relationships between faculty and students often result in customized internships and independent study courses, both of which are enhanced by the resources of the greater Portland area, where a multitude of cultural and employment opportunities await.
- Options: Undergraduates can choose from 27 majors and 29 minors, and students pursuing a graduate education can select one of three graduate studies degrees, including a Master of Education, Master of Teaching, and Master of Science in Management/Organizational Leadership.
- Ongoing education: For the last twenty years, our distinctive Adult Degree Program (ADP) has offered adult learners a convenient and pragmatic degree completion program that is built around their individual needs.
