Multnomah University provides a liberal arts education from a biblical perspective. While the university's seminary offers degrees in applied theology and Christian leadership, students may also explore subjects like organizational psychology, health and fitness management, and global development and justice. Three bachelor's degrees and eight master's degrees can also be earned entirely online. The university's Voices Scholarship program aims to create a more diverse and culturally competent study body. Participating students learn to lead and facilitate conversations related to racial reconciliation and cultural sensitivity. The program provides a $2,500 per year stipend that can be renewed annually. All undergraduate applicants must have a high school diploma and a minimum 2.5 GPA. As a test-optional institution, Multnomah does not require ACT or SAT scores. However, prospective students must provide a Christian character reference from a pastor, youth minister, or spiritual mentor.
