Reorganized in 1974, Marylhurst took a first bold step in pioneering educational programs for students of all ages. Marylhurst is now a co-educational university serving a diverse student body – including students just out of high school, business executives, artists, musicians, and people actively involved in the world around them. A wide variety of learning options enables students to study, research, and reflect on the important issues facing an increasingly complex world. Building on the long tradition of excellence in education, Marylhurst is recognized in the Pacific Northwest as a leading university for students of all ages. As a fully 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. Flexibility in scheduling and delivery of academic services makes a college education available to working adults as well as to daytime students. Marylhurst provides a learning environment in which education is more than just textbook theory. Marylhurst assumes that its mature student body brings a great deal of experiential knowledge and expertise to the classroom. As a result, an effort is made to empower students to extrapolate and generalize from their existing knowledge toward more general and abstract levels, while also increasing professional specificity and proficiency. Students and faculty learn with and from each other both in the beautiful campus surroundings minutes from downtown Portland and now via the World Wide Web through Marylhurst’s pioneering delivery of courses on line. Marylhurst University offers programs leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in Art, Communication Studies, Cultural and Historical Studies, English Literature and Writing, Human Studies, Interdisciplinary Studies, Music, Organizational Communication, Psychology, Religious Studies and Philosophy, Science, and Social Sciences. Also offered are a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, a Bachelor of Music Therapy, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Management. At the graduate level, a Master of Arts degree in Applied Theology, a Master of Arts degree in Art Therapy, a Master of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, and a Master of Business Administration are offered, as well as a Doctor of Ministry in cooperation with the San Francisco Theological Seminary. 4 ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATIONS MARYLHURST THE MARYLHURST Marylhurst University is accredited by the Northwest UNIVERSITY Association of Schools and Colleges.
