  • 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.

Corban University Catalog – 2017-2018 2 CORBAN UNIVERSITY Dear Friend of Corban: Thank you for taking the time to review the Corban University catalog. 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.
