About Linfield University:
Linfield University is an independent,
nonprofit university with two physical campuses. The main campus, located in McMinnville, Oregon is on 189 park-like acres just south of the
charming historic downtown. The School of Nursing, located in northeast Portland, Oregon, is located on 20 acres. Linfield also has a
growing eCampus. Since 1858, Linfield has connected a traditional liberal arts experience with practical education through 57 majors,
including wine studies, sport management and nursing. Linfield also offers interdisciplinary graduate degrees in business, nursing,
education, and sports sciences. Linfield University is fully accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. With a
relentless focus on student success, Linfield is committed to a mission of connecting learning, life, and community.
