Location
Northwest Christian University is located in east Eugene, separated from the larger University of Oregon by the width of a single lane street. Founder Eugene Sanders envisioned a school at which students would study the Bible and principles of Christian ministry under NCC's faculty, but take other subjects on the neighboring campus, a model he also attempted to set up at Manhattan Christian College, located near Kansas State University. The University of Oregon and Northwest Christian College maintained this arrangement until 1995, when the University of Oregon unilaterally discontinued it, forcing NCC to become a comprehensive liberal arts college. Today, NCU students occasionally take University of Oregon classes, have checkout privileges from Knight Library, and take advantage of lectures and other events on the neighboring campus.
