Cornerstone University’s mission is to provide students with empowering educational programs that offer relevant, practical information grounded in an ethical Christ-centered worldview.

Our Professional & Graduate Studies (PGS) program extends that mission to adult learners who want to:

• Extend and deepen their professional knowledge
• Prepare the ground for a career path change through further education

PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR YOU

Programs in the Cornerstone University’s PGS are designed to meet the needs of working students. Our undergraduate and graduate degree programs are:

• Practical and Relevant: Curriculum topics mirror real-world concerns. Small-group collaborative exercises reflect real-world working practices. Use tomorrow in the workplace what you learn today on-location.
• Convenient: Evening classes meet once a week at times designed to mesh with work schedules. Multiple locations throughout Michigan make it easier to get to class. And online learning options give you even more flexibility.
• Accelerated: Many of Cornerstone University’s PGS programs are designed to fit into intense schedules, meaning you can graduate sooner and put your new qualification to work for you.

About one in four of our students — from freshmen to future doctors — are the first in their families to attend college. And our students experience greater socioeconomic growth as a result of their educations than their peers at other colleges in the Pacific Northwest.

At Pacific, students build deep personal relationships with friends, mentors, faculty members, and academic and career counselors.

Our students mix their rigorous academic experiences with meaningful research, community engagement and life experiences, helping them become successful and active citizens and community leaders.
Pacific is the No. 1 private research university in the Pacific Northwest and ranks No. 10 on the West Coast, among the likes of USC and Stanford.
We’re among U.S. News & World Report’s top National Universities for 2020, plus named a Best Value School, Best College for Veterans, and Top Performer for Social Mobility.
We also were on the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education list of America’s Top Colleges — a list that includes only the top third of all undergraduate institutions.
In 2019, Pacific earned a silver ranking for sustainability under the national STARS program.

Our undergraduate campus is a 108-acre, tree-shaded property in the city of Newberg. Experience a Christian university in our natural setting. After class, you can study or enjoy a relaxing time with friends on our landscaped grounds. Chat with classmates in the rose garden, read a book in the Centennial Tower’s shade, or escape down a trail in the wooded Hess Creek Canyon.
The campus has expanded in recent years to include more than 70 buildings. Our Hadlock Student Center opened in 2018 – a 48,000-square-foot facilty featuring three full basketball/volleyball courts, an elevated track, a fitness center and a rock-climbing wall.

Previously, in 2016, we opened our Canyon Commons dining hall, providing a dining experience overlooking the lush Hess Creek Canyon for up to 800. An athletic field facility, the Austin Sports Complex, is a 24-acre tract north of the campus that serves as home to our soccer and lacrosse teams.

Our facilities include science, engineering and nursing labs equipped with the latest equipment and software; the 1,150-seat Bauman Auditorium, which has such good acoustics that the Oregon Symphony records here; and excellent athletic facilities, including the Stoffer Family Stadium/Duke Athletic Center, home to our football and track programs.

Through numerous activities – sports, fellowship, study groups, Bible studies, etc. – our student body strives to create a fun, encouraging atmosphere.
