About the University of Portland 

The University of Portland first opened its doors in 1901, and is now Oregon’s only comprehensive university with schools of business, education, engineering, nursing, a College of Arts and Sciences, and a graduate school. The campus has a thriving community of more than 4,000 students, who come from around the nation and the world. As a diverse community of scholars dedicated to excellence and innovation, UP pursues teaching and learning, faith and formation, service and leadership in the classroom, residence halls, and the world. For 23 consecutive years, the University has earned a top-10 ranking by US News & World Report in the “Regional Universities – West” classification. The University's commitment to an education outside the classroom means that UP also offers a wide variety of extra-curricular programming. The University honors faith and reason as ways of knowing, promotes ethical reflection, and prepares people who respond to the needs of the world and its human family. (UP Today and Academics)

Meet Our SHE-CAN Scholar

Rosie Ith, Class of 2022

Partnership

We are excited to announce the addition of the University of Portland to the SHE-CAN Coalition for 2017. At UP, our SHE-CAN scholars will explore who they are and who they want to be. Scholars can pursue one of over 40 different academic programs and engage in extraordinary opportunities to cultivate their best self within a close-knit community. UP’s campus provides the best of both worlds, situated in a quiet neighborhood on a bluff above the Willamette River and only a short drive from Portland’s city center. With the addition of UP to our Coalition, we are expanding our presence in the Pacific Northwest.
