A Passion For Teaching

Linfield College faculty have a passion for teaching and they want to invest their time and energy in your academic pursuit. Expectations are high, but because you know your professors care, you will be inspired to challenge yourself to do your very best.

Caring About Their Students

It is the quality of our faculty and the relationship between faculty and students that makes a Linfield education so valuable. Students consistently describe a positive learning environment and they attribute this to a knowledgeable, accessible, and caring faculty.



On a recent Senior Survey, graduates identified "faculty knowledge and commitment to student learning... a talented faculty... instructors who are incredibly enthusiastic about the material and very supportive of students" as just some of the strengths of the Portland Campus.

Working Side-By-Side

Faculty will be working closely with you from the day you enter school until graduation. All faculty members serve as academic advisors. Students often work with individual faculty on independent studies or senior honor thesis projects. You will have the freedom to tailor the program beyond the major to meet your specific goals.

Your professors will be instrumental in writing letters of recommendation, whether you are preparing to enter the job market or go on to graduate school. Our students are entering some of the finest graduate programs in the country and that is a direct reflection of teaching excellence and the level of commitment from our faculty.
