Overview
Simpson University is a small Christian university in Redding, California, affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination. It serves far-northern California, a region with few other four-year options, from a campus near the Sacramento River.
Academics
Nursing, business, education, and ministry are the most established programs, taught in small classes with faith integration running through general-education coursework.
Campus & student life
The Redding setting puts outdoor recreation — the Sacramento River and Shasta-area hiking and water sports — within easy reach, and campus culture is close-knit given the school's small size. Chapel and spiritual-formation programming are a regular part of student life.
Getting in
Simpson reviews applicants with an emphasis on fit with its Christian mission alongside academic readiness; interviews or pastoral references sometimes factor into review for ministry-track applicants.
