School Notes:
- Warner Pacific College offers a distinctive liberal arts academic program framed in a Christ-centered worldview. The Humanities core of our liberal arts program equips students to lead and serve in a world that is increasingly challenged by ethical and pragmatic dilemmas—that is, to live in a world of paradox. Our students enjoy a college experience rich in academic excellence, meaningful relationships, and spiritual development.
- Our course offerings are divided among the Core Curriculum, courses supporting majors and minors, and elective courses, in roughly equal thirds. The Core covers eight areas of study, from religion to science, and from humanities to social science, that we think represent essential ways of understanding life for a “liberally” educated Christian.
- Whether you live on campus or commute, are a recent high-school grad or a transfer student, you'll find Warner Pacific College to be a tight knit community that encourages your spiritual, academic, personal and social growth.
- Visit Warner Pacific's gorgeous 15-acre campus and surrounding Portland attractions such as Mt. Tabor Park, Waterfront Park in exciting downtown Portland, the Washington Park Zoo, Multnomah Falls and the scenic Columbia River Gorge, and Timberline Lodge on breathtakingly beautiful Mt. Hood.
