George Fox University is a private Christian university in Newberg, Oregon, United States. Founded as a school for Quakers in 1891, it is now the largest private university in Oregon with more than 4,000 students combined between its main campus in Newberg, its centers in Portland and Redmond, and online. The 108-acre (44 ha) main campus is near downtown Newberg, near the junction of Oregon Route 99W and Oregon Route 219. George Fox competes athletically at the NCAA Division III level in the Northwest Conference as the Bruins. The school colors are navy blue and old gold. The university is associated with the Evangelical Friends Church International and is a member of the Wesleyan Holiness Connection.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 96% acceptance rate means admission is rarely a barrier, but the 69% graduation rate suggests a meaningful share of students don't finish — worth asking the school about directly. On the financial side, things look reasonably balanced, with median debt of $19,500 at graduation against median earnings of $51,000 a decade out, though the $29,981 annual net price is still a real commitment. Worth considering if you're drawn to a tight-knit Christian community in the Pacific Northwest and want a smaller school feel, but push to understand what support systems exist to help you actually get to graduation day.
