Our Endeavor

To provide Bible-centered baccalaureate and graduate programs built on the foundation of our Judeo-Christian and Baptist heritage.

To educate maturing Christians to become competent thinkers, involved citizens and effective communicators.

To provide opportunities for students to apply their academic knowledge and exercise their ministry gifts and abilities through church, community service and internship programs.

To develop healthy, balanced lives through participation in extracurricular programs and intramural activities designed to enhance the mind, body and spirit.

History

Corban College has its roots in Phoenix, Arizona, where in 1935 it began as a Bible Institute.

After relocating to California in 1946 it became known as Western Baptist Bible College where it operated until moving to Oregon in 1969.

In 1955 the college received degree-granting status from the State of California Department of Education, and in 1959 received national accreditation as a Bible college by the American Association of Bible Colleges. In 1968 it was first regionally accredited and remains so today by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Over the years, the college has been transformed from a Bible college to a comprehensive college offering programs in biblical studies, the liberal arts, and professional studies.

While Baptistic in theology, Corban serves the greater evangelical community. In order to address the demographic changes from a historically Baptist student body to one representing a wide range of evangelical groups, the name was changed to Corban College in 2005. The meaning of its name, a biblical word meaning “a gift dedicated to God” and slogan "dedicating heart and mind to God" reflect our mission.

We encourage all students enrolled in any of our 45 accredited majors and programs to consider their lives a ministry. Our growing student population and academic programs not only include traditional programs but also adult degree programs and graduate studies programs on campus and online.
