Corban College is a private, independent Baptist college in Salem, Oregon.
First established as a Bible institute in Phoenix, Arizona in 1935, the college moved to California in 1946 and took the name Western Baptist Bible College, being afflilated with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC). Corban is a distinctly Christian college: all students are required to be Christians who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
In 1969 the college moved again, to Oregon, where it operates today. In the 1970's, Western added liberal arts programs in addition to ministry programs. The college's name was changed from Western Baptist College to Corban College in 2005, using the word "Corban", a Hebrew word meaning a gift dedicated to God. While Corban is a Baptist school, Corban accepts Christian students from many evangelical denominations. Students are required to provide their testimony of their saving relationship with Jesus Christ in their application to Corban.
Corban's motto is "Dedicating heart and mind to God," and Corban's mission is "To educate Christians who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ." (Matthew 28:19-20) Corban offers a unique mix of being both a liberal arts college and a Bible college. All graduates from Corban, regardless of major, graduate with a minimum of 24 semester units of Bible classes. Also, all classes are taught from a Biblical perspective to show that Christ should be integrated in all areas of life. Corban is theologically conservative and baptistic in thought.
Corban's campus is on a wooded hillside on the outskirts of Salem, and the college owns approximately 100 acres of the wooded hillside. Corban is a residential campus, with six dorms, three men's dorms, and three women's. Each dorm is single gender, and each residence community is limited in size, in order to create a sense of community.
In the summer of 2007, Corban's name was extended to "Corban College and Graduate School" in order to reflect the institution's graduate programs in Education and Business.
