Corban University

Corban University Educating Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ!

Situated on a beautiful forested hillside overlooking Oregon’s capital city of Salem, Corban’s 220-acre campus is the perfect home base for adventure in the Pacific Northwest, just an hour from the mountains or the Oregon coast. Academic excellence at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels, as well as online, prepares students for careers as business leaders, educators, medical professio

nals, politicians, ministry leaders, and more. Expert faculty with professional career experience remain active in their fields while building mentoring relationships with students. Outside the classroom, a tight-knit student community and opportunities for local and global engagement provide for students’ growth through short-term mission trips, study abroad programs, and overseas teaching connections. In addition to academic excellence, Corban is known for athletic excellence, as Corban athletes compete—and win—in 17 intercollegiate sports. Corban Warriors have earned 39 Conference Championships, and Corban was named the 2020 NAIA Champions of Character Five-Star Institution for the school’s conduct in competition, academic focus, and character recognition and promotion. Corban seeks to provide not only a quality education but also an affordable one. 99% of undergraduate students receive financial aid.

“Once I realized this is where God wants me, then, for the first time in my life, I just didn’t feel the need to move. Corban became my Promised Land. I didn’t know it at the time, but when I came here, I had entered God’s rest.” - Dr. Gary Derickson (Professor Emeritus)

As Dr. Derickson retires after 35 years at Corban, we celebrate a legacy marked by faithfulness, excellence, and deep love for students.

After 35 years of teaching, Dr. Gary Derickson is honored as Professor Emeritus at Corban University, leaving a lasting legacy of faith, scholarship, and mentorship.

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13

Today we honor and remember all who gave their lives in sacrificial service to our country. As we gather with family and friends, may we pause with gratitude for those who gave everything to protect the freedoms we enjoy.

We asked our upperclassmen what they’ll miss most after graduation. Short answer is: Everything. Slightly longer answer is Christian fellowship within the student body and intentional mentorship from Corban professors.
