At Corban, we are committed to equipping a new generation to think critically and operate from our one central foundation, Jesus Christ.

  • Admissions Undergraduate
    2012-2014 CORBAN UNIVERSITY CATALOG Updated September 1, 2012 5000 DEER PARK DRIVE SE • SALEM, OREGON 97317-9392 • 503.375.7005 • 800.845.3005 • www.corban.edu CORBAN UNIVERSITY OUR VISION “Corban University, with its global mission, is positioning itself to become one of the highest-ranked educational institutions in the United States. “ We recognize that a vision statement sets a destination. Getting there requires strategic planning. Such planning is particularly important in situations where there are many unknowns. Fortunately, we rely on the Lord Jesus Christ who not only knows the future, but is the future. OUR MISSION “To educate Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.” This is accomplished by fostering a transformative learning culture where a sustainable biblical worldview takes shape; building a Christian community that promotes worship, creative expression and activities that reflect God’s character; and cultivating a life of stewardship and service toward God, humanity and creation. OUR SENSE OF PLACE “Ideally, every college or university should have its own physical image, an amalgam of buildings and landscapes that define and celebrate a sense of place; communicate the institution’s purpose, presence, and domain; and generate an image charged with symbolism, graced by history.” (“Campus Design” by Richard P. Dober) The Lord has blessed us with a campus that has truly become a beautiful educational setting with several new buildings, clock tower, amphitheater, large green spaces, new athletic fields and renovation of several existing buildings. The prospects of a new library building and the addition of 42.5 acres to our campus give us the opportunity to continue to expand the University.

  • The Case for Christian Higher Education
    COUNCIL FOR CHRISTIAN COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION 1 | THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION ADVANCING FAITH AND INTELLECT FOR THE COMMON GOOD 2 | THE CASE FOR CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION ADVANCING FAITH AND INTELLECT FOR THE COMMON GOOD The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) is a higher education association of more than 180 Christian institutions around the world. The CCCU’s mission is to advance the cause of Christ-centered higher education and to help our institutions transform lives by faithfully relating scholarship and service to biblical truth. The institutions of the CCCU share three basic commitments: First, we integrate biblical truth not just into “spiritual” aspects of the institution but throughout the academic enterprise. Our professors pursue academic excellence because they are committed to God as the author of truth, and that truth has implications for every academic discipline. The classroom and the laboratory are just as much arenas of Christian integration as the college chapel. Second, we are committed to the moral and spiritual formation of students. Education that instructs the mind without deepening the soul is not true learning. Our schools seek to develop students who, in the words of the Old Testament prophet, “act justly and love mercy and walk humbly with their God” (Micah 6:8). This requires not simply professional competence but wisdom, which is a sense of things in their proper relationship and a love for the right things. Our purpose is to form students of moral commitment who live out Christian virtues such as love, courage, and humility.
