At Corban, faith isn’t separate from education—it’s the foundation.
 
Bible classes are part of every student’s experience, integrated into every major, and taught by professors who share a common faith in Christ. From praying before class to mentoring students through life’s challenges, faith shapes both what we learn and how we learn it.
 
As one of the few Christian universities on the West Coast that requires a profession of faith from students, faculty, and staff, Corban is a community united by a shared commitment to Jesus Christ—and you can feel the difference.
