History

On February 14, 1936, the Rev. John G. Mitchell called a meeting to discuss a vision, and subsequently Multnomah School of the Bible came into existence. The following October, classes began in a former mortuary. There were 49 students and a half-dozen faculty. Multnomah Biblical Seminary was founded as a related institution in 1986. In 1994, the college was renamed to Multnomah Bible College. On July 1, 2008, the over-arching name of the entire institution was changed to Multnomah University.

The original campus was located adjacent to the site of the present Lloyd Center shopping mall in Northeast Portland. In 1952, the school purchased the 17-acre (69,000 m²) former campus of the Oregon Blind Trades School, a branch of the Oregon State School for the Blind, located at NE 82nd Avenue and NE Glisan Street, which is the university's current location.

The college is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and The Association for Biblical Higher Education. The seminary is accredited by Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada. Both the college and the seminary are licensed by the Oregon State Office of Degree Authorization to grant bachelor's and master's degrees.
