Multnomah and the Small School Advantage 

*advertisement*

More Than a Number

With a student to faculty ratio of 11:1, you can expect to be mentored and truly known by the staff and faculty at Multnomah University. Students on both the undergraduate and graduate level report their close relationships with faculty and small class sizes to be one of the top reasons they completed their degrees at MU. They saw their education as a unique experience that better prepared them for life beyond graduation.

Many staff and faculty have open-door policies. They know their students by their first names, they know their families, they share meals together, and students are guided through life’s challenges beyond the ones they face in the classroom.

Mentorship and Opportunity

Faculty foster a learning environment that encourages critical thinking, urging students to dig deeper and ask the tough questions. MU faculty prioritize guiding students through not just the curriculum, but their most personal and pressing questions about life and faith.

MU’s Link Learning program connects students with an extensive network of alumni and university partnerships to better prepare students for the workforce and give them a chance to apply the theories they’re learning to real-life experiences. MU students graduate grounded in their beliefs with a clear vision of where God is leading them and the skills to get there.

Build Community and Thrive

Not only do MU students feel known by the staff and faculty, but students also learn and grow together in a tight-knit community, maturing in relationship with one another and in their spiritual lives. At MU, students are a part of a rich faith community that provides the support needed to handle the pressures of exams, internships, and the future ahead of them.

Multnomah University’s campus is minutes from downtown Portland and surrounded with breathtaking nature reserves and parks. Students can engage with the unique culture of Portland, exploring coffee shops, food carts, beautiful parks, and people from all walks of life. At MU, you can have the best of both worlds.
