2015-2016 Catalog 1 Welcome Welcome to Warner Pacific College! Our Mt. Tabor campus is located in the heart of Portland, Oregon—a vibrant, progressive and beautiful city. Warner Pacific College is a Christ-centered urban liberal arts college dedicated to providing students from diverse backgrounds an education that prepares them to engage actively in a constantly changing world. Over recent years, we have come to better understand our mission statement and how it applies to the unique setting of our campus. We seek to educate students who welcome the learning that comes with living in an increasingly diverse and thriving urban environment. Four themes run through our mission statement and guide the holistic educational process at Warner Pacific College. First and foremost, we are Christ-centered. We use that language intentionally! We believe the life and teaching of Jesus Christ provide the best framework for a learning community. We welcome students from diverse backgrounds to come and engage in a learning experience that provides the best of community participation and strives to reflect the character of Christ. Second, Warner Pacific College is committed to collaborating with and for our urban context. We are fortunate to be located in the City of Portland, where students can engage in learning, serving, leading, interning and working in this city. The world is becoming increasingly urban, and we believe students will be best prepared if they experience opportunities to navigate and apply their learning in an urban context. Beyond that, we believe we have a tremendous opportunity to love and serve our neighbors as we seek shalom for our city. Third, we believe that a liberal arts education provides the best foundation to prepare students to engage actively in a world and economy that is constantly changing. The liberal arts provide a common understanding of our context, develop students’ ability to learn and be adaptable throughout their lifetimes, and cultivate the ability to think critically and make good decisions. A central element of our curriculum is the Humanities Core, which equips students with the critical reading and thinking skills to help them decipher good answers through the complexities that arise in engaging real-world questions. As a result, you will be thoroughly prepared for leadership and service as you encounter life’s paradoxes and the challenges of your life’s calling. Finally, we are committed to investing in the development and success of students from diverse backgrounds. We believe a Christ-centered urban education at Warner Pacific College should be accessible and welcoming. We embrace students from diverse backgrounds as they study and live in a community that is characterized by low student to faculty ratios (small classes), intentional mentoring, and a support system that encourages intellectual, personal, spiritual and vocational development. Many new possibilities are before you as you embark on your educational journey at Warner Pacific College. Make the most of each class, each friendship, and each opportunity you encounter – our desire is for you to flourish in every aspect of your life. Sincerely, Andrea P. Cook, Ph.D. President Warner Pacific 2015-2016 Catalog 1 History and Accreditation Warner Pacific College is operated under the auspices of the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) as a place of education and service for people, regardless of their denomination, who desire a quality liberal arts education in a vital Christian community. Founded in 1937 in Spokane, Washington, it was incorporated as Pacific Bible College and prepared church leaders during its early years. A desire for a more central location in the Pacific Northwest led to a move to Portland in 1940. In 1959, the name of the institution was changed to Warner Pacific College in honor of one of the early founders of the church as well as to reflect its growing liberal arts emphasis. It has been accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (8060 165th Ave. NE, Suite 100, Redmond, WA 98052; Telephone: 425.558.4224; FAX: 425.376.0596) since 1961. Additionally, the college is approved by the State of Oregon (www.doj.state.or.us/ finfraud/) to offer degree programs and for the training of teachers in identified subject areas. Warner Pacific has also been approved to offer specific degree programs in the State of Washington (see page 201). Proviso Warner Pacific College is an equal opportunity employer, which seeks faculty and staff who have a personal commitment to Jesus Christ and to the educational mission of the college as a Christian liberal arts institution. Warner Pacific College does not discriminate in its student admission and employment practices and provides equal opportunity for all students, applicants and employees regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, disability, age, veteran status and any other status protected by laws and regulations. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this catalog, Warner Pacific College reserves the right to make changes at any time without prior notice. This catalog is not a contract between Warner Pacific College and current or prospective students. Additions to the curriculum for the ensuing year are published each fall in the master schedule. Degree requirements are effective according to the semester of matriculation to the institution, while policies and processes may change from catalog year to catalog year.
