Patten University

Oakland, California, USA

Overview

Patten University was founded in 1976, and is a private, non-profit university owned by Patten Educational Foundation (“PEF”) and accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission.

Patten University seeks to advance students’ deepening of faith, awareness of diverse cultures and traditions, expand their ability to think critically and independently, and acquire leadership skills and technological competencies. The University is committed to preparing students to pursue their academic and career goals, while helping them integrate faith, social responsibility, and leadership into all areas of their lives. The University strives to serve students from a broad range of ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

The University is dedicated to recruiting and retaining faculty and staff who are committed to mentoring and coaching, who demonstrate integrity through scholarship, institutional improvement, and service to the larger community; and employ innovative technologies and teaching methods that meet the needs of 21st century learners. In its recruitment and retention of students, faculty, and staff, Patten University maintains openness to all qualified persons and encourages academic freedom and diversity within the context of its core values of learning, faith and community.

The University continues the legacy of Patten Educational Foundation founder Bebe Patten, who was generations ahead of her time as a courageous voice in the Christian evangelical movement, advocating for both racial and gender equality. The institution was previously named American Graduate University, and is separate from the other institution named “Patten University” founded by PEF that operated until 2020.

Since 1944, Patten Educational Foundation founded, operated and supported several educational institutions, including Patten Bible College, Patten Academy (a K-12 school), Prison University Project, and Patten University.
