  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

What Students Are Saying

I believe that Multnomah University is a great place to learn about God and develop healthy relationships. It preps one to go into ministry here in America and over seas. The best thing about Multnomah is that is a great place for community.
Christine from Portland, OR
I would give Multnomah University a rating of 9/10. If you are looking for a school that offers a double major in biblical studies as well as a major you can use anywhere else, like education, business, psychology, etc. then Multnomah is the place for you. It provides on-campus and free tutoring and counseling while providing on-campus living.
Rachel from Kent, WA
The campus is beautiful and we are all a big family. We learn together and support each other. We have world-class professors, who have first hand experience in their fields.
Kirstin from Tucson, AZ
