Welcome Welcome to Warner Pacific University! the 2020-2021 Academic Year Will Be Undertaken During a Period of Unprecedented Times Welcome Welcome to Warner Pacific University! The 2020-2021 academic year will be undertaken during a period of unprecedented times. In spite of the uncertainty of this pandemic that will affect higher education institutions across the nation, Warner Pacific University will remain flexible, dutiful, watchful and continuous in our following the great grace upon our institution that has sustained it since its founding in 1937. As Warner Pacific University’s newly appointed 8th President, I am confident that we will continue to move forward into a very bright future while building upon the foundation of the past 12 years under the wonderful leadership of President Andrea Cook. My leadership team and I will continue to emphasize and value Warner Pacific University’s standing as a vibrant, progressive university located within the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. Warner Pacific University is and will remain a Christ-centered urban liberal arts university 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. Still further, the institution will continue to be guided by its foundational principles and evolution within the past 12 years as a dynamic, progressive institution while maintaining values that embraces its tradition, yet remains open to embrace the particular trajectory we are called to fulfill. To this end, I wish to reiterate and underscore President Andrea Cook’s words from excerpted from the 2019-2020 Catalog: “Four core themes run through our mission statement and guide the holistic educational process at Warner Pacific University. 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 University 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 the flourishing of 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. Increasingly, students are pursuing career-focused majors. We believe our liberal arts core provides an important foundation for students to gain the essential skills for leadership and success in all of life’s pursuits. 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 Warner Pacific 2020-2021 Catalog 1 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 formation and success of students from diverse backgrounds. We believe a Christ-centered urban education at Warner Pacific University 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 await you as you embark on your educational journey at Warner Pacific University. 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.” In closing, I wish to offer the words of Os Guiness as you undertake the 2020- 2021 academic year: “All callings are made sacred by the Caller.” Warner Pacific University will continue to assist each of our students to fulfill their unique callings within a myriad of fields throughout Portland, the northwest region, the United States of America and the world. Sincerely, Brian L. Johnson, Ph.D. 8th President, Warner Pacific University History and Accreditation Warner Pacific University 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. In 2018, the name was changed toWarner Pacific University to more accurately reflect the growth and development it has experienced in the scope of the programs offered and the scale of what its graduates are achieving. 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 university 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 217). Proviso Warner Pacific University 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 university as a Christ-centered liberal arts institution. Warner Pacific University 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.

  • 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.

    What We Believe Our Identity and Values in Community God First Since 1899 Table of Contents Mission Statement 3 Statement of Faith 4 Motto 7 Four Cornerstones 8 Statement of Academic Freedom 10 Essence Statement 14 Identity Statements 18 Mission Statement Today at Azusa Pacific University, we work together as a team of difference makers to advance the work of God in the world through scholarship, teaching, and building disciples across all levels and delivery systems of collegiate education. When Azusa Pacific was founded in 1899 in a simple home in Whittier, California, as the Training School for Christian Workers, that modest beginning came with the bold resolve of homeowner Philena B. Hadley and others to forge an educational enterprise that would impact the world for Christ. This foundational understanding of our common purpose finds expression in the Mission Statement as established in 1990 under the leadership of Interim President Ted Engstrom and President Richard Felix, who had just begun his tenure. The Board of Trustees has adopted the following statement of mission and purpose for Azusa Pacific University: “Azusa Pacific University is an evangelical Christian community of disciples and scholars who seek to advance the work of God in the world through academic excellence in liberal arts and professional programs of higher education that encourage students to develop a Christian perspective of truth and life.” 2 3 As an educational institution with a Wesleyan tradition at its core, it seems natural to us to embrace a statement of faith that is common among many Christian traditions. APU’s Statement of Faith first appeared in 1900, introduced by Philena Hadley and Mary Hill as “History and Spirit.” It was revisited and clarified in 1956, under President C.P.
