About this School
The University of Portland (UP) is a private Catholic university specifically affiliated with the Congregation of Holy Cross, like its better known sister school, the University of Notre Dame. UP is located in Portland, Oregon in the North Portland neighborhoods of St. Johns and University Park on Waud's Bluff. The southern edge of campus overlooks Swan Island and the Willamete River and has a view extending to downtown Portland and Mount Hood. Founded in 1901, UP has a student body of about 3,000 students, though applications to the school doubled in 2006 from the previous year because of its increasing national profile. UP is in the process of expanding its campus with the purchase of adjacent properties. UP has excellent Engineering and Nursing programs. The UP mascot until 2004 was Wally Pilot. It is the only school in Oregon to offer a College of Arts & Sciences, a Graduate School, and schools of Business, Education, Engineering, and Nursing.
