Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Universities
Mission: The university of portland, an independently governed catholic university guided by the congregation of holy cross, addresses significant questions of human concern through interdisciplinary studies of the arts, sciences, and humanities and through studies in majors and professional programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. As a diverse community of scholars dedicated to excellence and innovation, we pursue teaching and learning, faith and formation, leadership and service in the classroom, residence halls, and all activities of campus life. Because we value the development of the entire person, the university honors faith and reason as ways of knowing, promotes ethical reflection, and prepares people who respond to the needs of the world and its human family.
Programs: Post-secondary education: the primary mission of the university of portland is education. 4,383 undergraduate and graduate students were enrolled in 2016-17 in the college of arts and sciences, pamplin school of business administration, school of education, school of nursing, and shiley school of engineering. The university has been repeatedly recognized as one of the top ten master's universities in the west. An integral part of our mission is the provision of student financial aid to help students pursue their education. A high-quality, personalized education at the university of portland is an investment in each student's future success. We recognize that some students and their families may need assistance to meet some of their college costs, and we strive to help fill the gap between the cost of attendance and funds available to each student. We connect students with a wide range of internal and external funding options, but the expenses included in this category reflect scholarships and grants through institutional funds, annual and endowed gifts, and matching of government funds.
extracurricular programs, student services and campus life: the university of portland recognizes that an education should develop the entire person and accordingly maintains diverse and comprehensive extracurricular programs on campus. Expenses and revenues listed above include residence halls, dining, ncaa division i athletics, international student services, health and career services, admissions, registrar, student government and activities, financial aid, and intramurals.
library programs: the wilson w. Clark memorial library serves the university of portland community as a dynamic teaching library. The library accomplishes this through interactive instruction, by acquiring and organizing multi-format collections that support the curriculum, and by facilitating access to resources in the library and beyond.
