Through flexible course formats, nationally recognized credit for prior learning program, online learning innovation and community college partnerships, we continue to redefine higher education to meet the needs of the modern learner.

ABOUT MARYLHURST University Mission Statement Marylhurst University is a private institution of higher learning open to men and women of any race or religion. It is dedicated to making innovative post-secondary education accessible to self-directed students of any age. Marylhurst offers coursework leading to bachelor's and master's degrees, and to other goals such as career transition, professional development and personal enrichment. Animated by its Catholic and liberal arts heritage, Marylhurst emphasizes the uniqueness and dignity of each person, and is committed to the examination of values, as well as to quality academic and professional training. Marylhurst University seeks to aid students in advancing their goals for responsible participation in a rapidly changing world by pursuing, and encouraging its students to pursue, the ideals of competence, leadership and service. Core Themes Advance Academic Quality As a teaching university, academic excellence is at the core of Marylhurst's identity. We attain academic excellence by providing a high quality curriculum and excellent instruction for students. We model reflective practices in our teaching and our professional development through a cycle of continuous improvement demonstrated at the classroom level, the department level and in the institution as a whole. Promote Student Success Marylhurst engages multi-generational students in a reflective and transformational experience that helps them successfully identify and meet their individual professional, career, spiritual and life goals. Because we are a learner- centered institution, we are dedicated to identifying and removing barriers in order to support student success. We believe success includes the development of the whole person in order to achieve lifelong learning, safety and growth. A Rich Heritage Marylhurst was founded in 1893 by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary as the first liberal arts college for women in the Pacific Northwest. Reorganized in 1974, Marylhurst took a bold step in pioneering educational programs for students of all ages. Marylhurst is now a co-educational university serving a diverse student body - some students come to us right out of high school, but most are returning to college in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond, fortified with a range of life and career experiences, to complete undergraduate or graduate studies. A wide variety of learning options enables students to study, research and reflect on the important issues facing an increasingly complex world. Building on its long tradition of educational excellence, Marylhurst is well known regionally for its rigorous, personalized learning environment, and nationally recognized for innovation in serving adult learners. As an accredited liberal arts university, Marylhurst offers both degree and non-degree programs designed to meet the learning needs of students motivated toward professional and personal excellence. Many of our academic programs offer flexible scheduling, with evening, weekend, daytime and online classes making a college education more readily available to working adults. Marylhurst provides a learning environment in which education includes theory and its application to experience. Marylhurst students bring experiential knowledge and expertise to the classroom. As a result, students are empowered to extrapolate from existing experience toward general and abstract learning and increased professional proficiency. Students and faculty learn with and from each other. Marylhurst's beautiful campus is 10 miles south of downtown Portland, Oregon, and our learning experience is also available via the web through Marylhurst's delivery of courses online. Charter and Governance Marylhurst University was established by the Oregon Province of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (the Congregation) to more fully "cooperate in the Church's mission of education.

  • 1.) to What Extent Will Marylhurst Provide A
    1.) To what extent will Marylhurst provide a “teach-out” beyond summer 2018 for students who can’t easily advance their academic careers through other means? I’m thinking particularly of art therapy students. Marylhurst is providing courses this summer for students who are able to graduate under that timeline. We are not able financially to provide coursework at Marylhurst University beyond that. We are required to have a “teach-out plan” by our accrediting body, NWCCU (the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities), that includes a description of what we are doing to help students finish their programs. We have been working with NWCCU to ensure that we have a satisfactory teach-out plan. Marylhurst University’s “teach-out plan” has three components and has been verified as appropriate by NWCCU. 1. Summer Term: Marylhurst will remain open to help students make progress towards completion of, or to complete, their programs of study. Our analysis shows that between 80 and 125 students can complete their degrees during summer term. If at all possible, Marylhurst will scholarship students for these classes. 2. Teach-Out Agreements: These are “written agreements between institutions that are accredited or pre-accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency…” These agreements might include an agreement to accept a cohort of students or the transfer of an entire program provided that the accepting institution can meet their governing and accreditation bodies’ requirements. 3. Student Transfers: Students are able to transfer to complete their degrees at the institution of their choice. We are doing everything we can to help facilitate this and make the process easy for them to navigate.

Together with Corban’s outstanding faculty and dedicated staff, I heartily embrace the idea that Christians are to be salt and light in their culture. We are to make every difference possible for Jesus Christ. We are to do this not just by spreading the good news of the Gospel, but also by exerting a Christian influence in every sphere of life—including politics, the media, the arts and the academy. At Corban, we are committed to equipping a new generation to think critically and operate from our one central foundation, Jesus Christ. To provide a Christian higher education is to equip today’s students to approach, respond to and serve a world that’s in desperate need around us.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2019 Something is happening here. Christ is here, and his coming brings us joy! from the president Let all who arrive be welcomed as Christ. Dear friends, What has marked the momentous years in your life? Weddings? Births? New ventures and adventures? The past year has been truly momentous for Mount Angel. Long-planned projects came to fruition —thanks to the unceasing prayers of our monks and friends, the generosity of our donors, and some dedicated beer fans! Benedictine Brewery opened its St. Michael Taproom to the public a year ago and has recently sailed through its second annual Oktoberfest with larger revenues and thumbs-up reviews. More important, the taproom’s guests enjoy meeting the monks and learning about Mount Angel. Join them! Have you had a chance to visit the newly re-opened Saint Benedict Guesthouse and Retreat Center? Its welcoming new spaces have inspired our guests and renewed the monks’ ministry of hospitality. Whether you live near or far, please consider reserving a room for the spiritual retreat your soul needs. It’s waiting for you. Thanks to careful planning, the Abbey’s historic library will be refurbished in time to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2020. True to its Benedictine heritage, the library represents the tradition of sharing and preserving the best of theology and culture. Remember, if you live within a 50-mile radius of Mount Angel, you qualify for a library card. So much more has happened this year, including a nationwide downturn in priestly vocations and seminary enrollment. Mount Angel Seminary meets this trend with a spirit of confidence.
