DCE Program Locations
Oregon is home to Linfield College. The main campus is located in McMinnville, a town of over 30,000 people in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Downtown stores and restaurants are within walking distance of the campus and town residents are known for their friendliness. It is only an hour to Portland, Oregon’s largest city, and a half-hour to the state capital, Salem.
The Portland Campus, home of the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing, was established in 1982 and is located in historic Northwest Portland adjacent to the Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center. A program in health sciences is also offered on the Portland Campus. With its riverfront location and many cultural and special events, Portland is rated one of America’s most livable cities. Linfield operates an adult degree program in eight Oregon communities (McMinnville, Portland, Albany, Salem, Coos Bay, Astoria, Eugene and Bend).
Linfield is among a group of colleges and universities operating the Malheur Environmental Field Station in Eastern Oregon where the Wallowa and Blue Mountains contrast with the arid desert.
Linfield’s campuses are located near some of the most beautiful spots in Oregon. The magnificent Oregon Coast is an hour’s drive from McMinnville. All Oregon beaches are public and offer some of the best ocean walks and views in the world.
The rugged Cascade Range is also within easy driving distance from Linfield’s two main campuses. Skiing opportunities abound on Mt. Hood and nearby resorts. The Pacific Crest Trail, which winds along the spine of the Cascades, offers spectacular hiking and camping in wilderness and alpine country. The Columbia Gorge, an hour from Portland, is known as a prime spot for windsurfing.
Many urban and cultural opportunities are available to Linfield students in Portland and Salem. The Portland Art Museum houses an extensive collection of Northwest Indian Art. The Rose Garden is home to the Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association. A performing arts center hosts world-class artists and musicians and Broadway touring productions, plus local and regionally-based theatre groups.
