Corban College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Corban College is a private, independent Baptist college in Salem, Oregon, United States. Founded in 1935 as Western Baptist Bible College in Arizona, the school moved to Oregon near Salem in 1969 and changed its name to Corban in 2005. The school of about 925 students offers undergraduate work in Bible studies as well as liberal arts, and graduate studies in business and education. Corban is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, and athletically is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, competing in the Cascade Collegiate Conference.

History

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 affiliated with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC). The school was first in Oakland and later in El Cerrito. In 1969 the college moved again, to Oregon, where it operates today.

The school shortened the name to Western Baptist College in 1973. In the 1970s, Western added liberal arts programs in addition to ministry programs. Reno Hoff became the president of the institution in 1999, replacing David Miller. In 2001, Beth Bartosik became the first Fulbright Scholar in the school's history. Corban received a $2.1 million donation in 2001 to go towards a new performing arts center and chapel, the largest donation ever for the school.

In 2004, U.S. News and World Report ranked the school as the eight best in the western United States for comprehensive colleges, and ninth the following year. The college's name was changed from Western Baptist College to Corban College on May 7, 2005, using the word "Corban", a Hebrew word meaning a gift dedicated to God. Later in 2005 the college opened Davidson Hall, a residence hall, and had their largest incoming class to that point with 207 freshman and an overall enrollment of 860. In 2006, U.S. News and World Report listed the school at eight, the fifth year in a row the school was in the top ten.

Question: If Corban College is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, ?

does that mean it's only regionally accredited and not nationally accredited? And then if that's the case, why is that important to know? What does that mean for future employment with a degree held from that college?

Best Answer

"Regionally accredited" really means, accredited by the Regional Association. In the USA the accreditation process is divided into regions and each region has its own accreditation group. There are 6 groups. These groups accredit all the famous schools like Harvard by the New England Regional, Stanford by the Western, Duke by the Southern, etc. So, you are good to go if they have a notice on their website that says they are accredited by the NWCCU http://www.nwccu.org/
