In 1902, Archbishop Christie asked the Congregation to assume control of the University. For the next 65 years Holy Cross was solely responsible for the University’s operation. In 1967, as a means of ecumenical outreach and to involve lay people in the governance of the University, Holy Cross transferred control to a board of re- gents, but continued its commitment to offer the University the service of its members. As a result, the University of Portland is Oregon’s Catholic university, governed by an independent board of regents composed of men and women of various religious denominations, with Holy Cross priests and brothers as mem- bers of its faculty, staff, and administration.
The University places superb teaching as both its first virtue and a central tenet of its mission. The five colleges of the campus — the College of Arts and Sciences, the Pamplin School of Business Administration, and the Schools of Education, Engineering, and Nursing — offer an education that stresses broad liberal arts learning, the development of personal skills, and the opening of the mind, the heart, and the soul. News & World Report magazine as one of the ten best regional universities in the West, the University offers some 1,300 courses, 38 undergraduate programs of study, and 12 graduate degrees. The University is situated on a bluff near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers in one of the large metropolitan areas of the West.
Located in a residential section of the city of Portland, the 130-acre campus offers lawns, hundreds of trees, and beautiful buildings in a quiet, peaceful setting, which is conducive to the learning process. Proximity to the river has suggested nautical names for the University’s athletic teams, the Pilots, and the student publica- tions, The Beacon and The Log. Mission The University of Portland is an independently governed Catholic university, a community of scholars composed of people of diverse races, ages, nationalities, and religions. Devoted since its inception in 1901 to a mission with three central tenets — teaching, faith, and service — the University is committed to the liber- al arts as the foundation of learning, and offers a curriculum of arts, sciences, humanities, and professional programs at the undergraduate and graduate lev- els.
The University provides recognized leadership and leaders to the community and to the world through the quality and innovation of its programs and the preparation and contributions of its graduates. The University provides excel- lent teaching and individual attention in an environment that fosters develop- ment of the whole person. Central to the daily life of the University is a concern with issues of justice and ethical behavior. The University encourages service to God and neighbor.
