Beginning Fall 2025, Jessup University’s Portland Campus will transition to offering only Seminary and Graduate education, meaning the Portland Campus will no longer house traditional undergraduate on-ground classes, NAIA athletics, or its CACREP-accredited Master of Arts in Counseling program. This realignment will allow us to focus on expanding seminary, graduate, and certificate programs and strengthening community partnerships that align with Multnomah’s legacy and mission. This new chapter will focus on graduate education, highlighted by Multnomah Biblical Seminary.

We recognize the weight of this decision and understand it may bring challenges. On-ground undergraduate classes, the CACREP-accredited Master of Arts in Counseling program, and NAIA athletics will continue through Spring 2025 to ensure a smooth transition for our students.

The Portland Campus will remain a vibrant hub for education, ministry, and cultural engagement, continuing to serve the community through partnerships with local ministry and community leaders. Jessup Global, our international education and online platform, headquartered in Portland since Fall 2024, will expand its global education and outreach initiatives, furthering opportunities for transformative impact.

Understanding the significance of this transition, we are committed to honoring Multnomah’s rich heritage of faith-integrated, Christ-centered education. By focusing on seminary and graduate studies and dynamic Kingdom partnerships, we aim to equip leaders who will serve their communities with Biblical integration, cultural engagement, and redemptive presence.
