We have a very diverse student body. Western students come from many cultures and nations. To make it more convenient for our students, Western offers a Monday degree track and an evening degree track in addition to our traditional daytime class schedule. Western recognizes that God has given significant ministry gifts to both men and women, and is pleased to train both for their God-ordained roles. Western enjoys a rich diversity of males and females in its faculty and eagerly welcomes women who seek to train their minds and hearts to serve the Lord within the field to which God has called them.
Opportunities abound for fellowship, ministry involvement, and group support.
Spouses of degree students who are taking 10 or more hours per semester are also eligible to take courses for credit at half tuition. The Partners in Ministry Certificate Program is a non-credit evening program designed to prepare the student wife for ministry with her husband. Over the years, most of our faculty have chosen to have their children in the public educational system. There are a number of Christian schools in the area and the Oregon State Department of Education policies and regulations accommodate those who wish to home school their children. Though Western does not have campus housing, Student Services provides help in locating housing for Western students close to the campus.
