America's top-ranked Christian college

Academic excellence

George Fox is ranked by Forbes as one of the top 100 colleges in America and highest among the nation's Christian colleges. We're also the only Christian college in the Pacific Northwest included in the U.S. News & World Report list of "Best National Universities." We offer more than 40 majors and 45 minors to help you fulfill your career goals. (If you are interested in our nine master’s degrees, three doctorate degrees, five seminary programs or adult-degree programs, we offer those too.)

Personal attention

At George Fox, you aren’t a number – you are valued as an individual. Our faculty members know you by name, value your uniqueness, and are willing to mentor you. Our 11-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio is one of the best among universities of all sizes on the West Coast.

Distinguished faculty

Our faculty includes a former Oregon Professor of the Year, Fulbright Scholars, and published authors who’ve written about everything from psychology to science fiction. Most importantly, our professors are committed to the integration of faith and learning and to making Christ’s teachings relevant within all academic disciplines.

An enviable location

George Fox is located in Newberg, Ore., a friendly small town of 22,000 just a short drive from Portland, the Oregon beaches and the slopes of Mt. Hood. If you haven't visited our big, tree-shaded campus, we invite you to do so. To schedule a visit, call our visit coordinator at 800-765-4369, ext. 2249.

We also offer …

• A Computers Across the Curriculum program that provides a MacBook laptop to each incoming undergraduate student
• A subsidized study-abroad program that has taken students to every continent but Antarctica. We rank among the top 25 out of 1,400 American colleges in study-abroad participation. About two-thirds of our undergraduates participate in an international experience.
• Opportunities to get involved in the lives of local and global neighbors through international and regional service trips and our annual all-campus Serve Day
• Student clubs in art, business, international affairs, missions and ministry, music, sociology/social work, theatre, and more.
• The opportunity to compete in NCAA Division III athletics with seven men’s sports and eight women’s. We’re proud that our baseball and women’s basketball teams have both recently won national titles.

Ultimately, we are a school that teaches, not just by books but by example – a university that cares not only how much you learn, but also about what kind of person you will become. 

Financial aid

If you are interested in attending, George Fox is committed to making it possible. Our generous financial aid program provides 95 percent of our students with some combination of scholarships, loans and student employment. We rank among the top third in our national university category for serving lower-income students.
