History
Warner Pacific College was founded in 1937 and is affiliated with the Church of God (Anderson). Its 15-acre (0.06-km²) urban campus is located on the southern slope of Mount Tabor (adjacent to the 195-acre [0.79-km²] Mount Tabor Park.) The college has long sought to expand its campus, most recently (in 2006) pursuing the purchase of a nine acre portion of city property adjoined to the park. In its negotiations, the college has been represented by attorney and former Parks commissioner Jim Francesconi.[1] Enrollment totals approximately 800 students with a student to faculty ratio of 14:1. The college intends to significantly increase enrollment in coming years.[1] Students come to Warner Pacific from 18 states and 9 countries. The College is a member of the Cascade Conference and competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division II.
Academics
Warner Pacific College's traditional undergraduate program offers 18 majors, four areas of pre-professional study, and 25 minors. For working adults, Warner Pacific College offers its Adult Degree Program with an Associate Degree in Organizational Dynamics and Bachelor Degrees in Business Administration and Human Development.
