Green is good, and we’ve got 85 acres of it. Our undergraduate campus is a beautiful, tree-shaded property in the city of Newberg. After class, you can study or enjoy time with friends on our landscaped grounds. Chat with classmates in the rose garden, read a book in Centennial Tower’s shade or escape for a stroll through the lush Hess Creek Canyon.

Fun is never far away. Newberg is a friendly community located in the heart of the scenic Willamette Valley. The natural beauty is the perfect backdrop to Newberg’s 11 city parks, including a world-class skatepark, a BMX track and Frisbee golf courses. The historic down-town consists of a variety of stores, art galleries, coffee shops, restaurants, a retro movie theater and a drive-in. i The quad is the perfect place for

relaxing with friends, studying or playing a game of Frisbee.
