Founded in 1937, the university is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. A private university, it is affiliated with the Church of God. HistoryThe school was established by the Church of God, whose founder was Daniel Sidney Warner.[1][1] The church voted to establish the college in September 1935, and in January 1936 the church bought land in Spokane, Washington, for the school.[2] It was then incorporated on February 9, 1937, as Pacific Bible College with classes starting on October 1937.[2][3] Then Pacific Bible College moved to Oregon in 1940 to its current campus in the Mount Tabor neighborhood of Southeast Portland.[3] In 1959, it was renamed as Warner Pacific College, and in 1961 received full accredition by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.[2] The university long sought to expand its campus, most recently (in 2006) pursuing the purchase of a nine-acre portion of city property adjoining the park. In its negotiations, the university was represented by attorney and former Parks commissioner Jim Francesconi,[4] but that deal fell through when the neighborhood association got wind of negotiations and felt that the sale of the public land was improper.[5] In 2018, the school changed its name to Warner Pacific University.[3] CampusWarner Pacific is situated on an {{convert|15|acre|km2|adj=on}} urban campus on the southern slope of Mount Tabor. The {{convert|195|acre|km2|adj=on}}, adjacent to the dog park at Mount Tabor Park. Since the 1890s, the park has contained reservoirs that serve the city of Portland, and that are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city's drinking water is being transitioned to covered reservoirs at Powell Butte; the transition is scheduled to be complete by 2020.[6] Major buildings on campus include McGuire Auditorium, the Otto F. Linn Library, Gotham Hall, and the C.C. Perry Gymnasium. The legendary A.F. Gray building, named after the school's first president, boasts several flights of stairs. Staff and faculty members whose offices are located on the third floor have powerful leg muscles. Bounded on the south by Southeast Division Street, the campus runs from (what would be) 65th Avenue to 70th Avenue. AcademicsWarner Pacific University's traditional undergraduate program offers 25 majors, seven areas of pre-professional study, and 29 minors.[7] For working adults, Warner Pacific University offers its adult degree program with an associate degree in organizational dynamics; Bachelor's degrees in accounting, business administration, healthcare administration and human development; a Master of Science degree in management and organizational leadership, a Master of Education degree, a Master of Arts in Human services degree, a MMOL-to-MBA bridge program, and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree.[8] Enrollment totals 1,333 students with a student to faculty ratio of 14:1.[1] Students at Warner Pacific are from eighteen states and nine countries.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} The on-campus library contains 56,647 volumes.[1] The college was ranked as the 6th best among western regional colleges by U.S. News & World Report in 2016.[9] Warner Pacific University is the first four-year college or university in Oregon to receive designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education.The qualifications to receive this designation is having 25% of students who identify as Latino or Hispanic, and Warner Pacific has 30.1% of their student body who identify as Latino or Hispanic.
