As Marylhurst’s new president, I’m honored to participate in this noble vision that is at the core of Marylhurst’s rich Catholic heritage. Marylhurst’s small, seminar-style classes provide individual attention in a powerful learning setting. This approach to education extends beyond the classroom to one-on-one mentoring, direction and counsel from advisors. Faculty members are recognized leaders in their areas of expertise—managers, marketers, entrepreneurs, published writers, artists, scientists and accomplished scholars. Each brings practical, tested experience to the classroom. Flexible course delivery allows students to schedule classes around busy lives. Classes are offered weekday, evening, weekend and online. Accelerated online programs provide another option for streamlining studies. Finally, Marylhurst’s blend of academic disciplines provides an environment where students gain relevant learning that fuels the imagination, broadens intellectual horizons and strengthens professional expertise. Whether a business, creative arts or liberal arts major, students are prepared for an ever-changing and increasingly competitive work force, and graduates are equipped to take leadership roles, contribute to their communities and make a real difference in the world. Judith A. Johansen, J.D. President Marylhurst University 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 postsecondary 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.
