Academic excellence
George Fox is ranked by Forbes among the top Christian colleges in America. We've been named a "Best Value" school based upon a formula that relates a school's academic quality to the net cost of attendance, and in 2014 Money and Washington Monthly magazines recognized George Fox on their respective "The Best Colleges for Your Money" and "Best Bang for the Buck" lists.
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 14-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 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.
