Simpson University
Simpson University is a distinctive evangelical, Christian institution nestled in the scenic region of Northern California. Established as Simpson Bible Institute in 1921, its foundational mission was to foster spiritual growth and prepare students for Christian service, particularly in foreign missions.
Named after Albert B. Simpson, a renowned pastor and revivalist, the University became the official western region school of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) in 1941. Over the years, it transitioned into a more comprehensive institution, eventually being renamed Simpson University in 2004.
The University's focal points include a liberal arts emphasis, a commitment to professional studies, and a dedication to external validation and recognition. Its robust institutional and theological identity, combined with a diverse student and faculty representation, underpin its vibrant community and academic excellence.
