ACCREDITATION, APPROVAL, LICENSURE, AND MEMBERSHIPS
COLLEGE HISTORY Sumner College opened their doors to students in July of 1974 with one campus located in Portland, Oregon. The college was founded as The Court Reporting Institute. Situated steps from the Portland State campus in downtown Portland, the college leased second floor space and began offering a Court Reporting diploma program. In 1986, the college changed its name to College of Legal Arts and expanded its curriculum by adding a Legal Secretarial program. Two years later, the college further expanded its curriculum offerings and added a Paralegal program. These programs were all designed with the final goal in mind of providing students the opportunity to obtain entry-level employment in the legal field. In January of 2007, the college was purchased by Cascade Education, LLC. Under new ownership, the college focused on developing new programs related to the healthcare sector. In 2009, the college changed its name to Sumner College to incorporate the growing number of programs. In the fall of 2009, after two years of development, the college launched their first nursing program; the Practical Nursing diploma program. This program has consistently retained strong retention numbers, as well as strong career placement in the nursing field. With the success of this program, and students interested in more advanced opportunities in the healthcare field, the college began developing curriculum for a registered nursing program in the latter part of 2010. In 2012, the college was approved to offer an associate level Associate Degree in Nursing Program by the state of Oregon and the OSBN, and in 2022 the college received approval from the state and the OSBN to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. Sumner College is the first private, proprietary school in Oregon history to offer a BSN in the state of Oregon. In its 48 year history, Sumner College has had three presidents. The current president has been the president of Sumner College since 2007. Board of Directors: Barry Glasser, Jeffrey Woolf, Joanna Russell Owners: Barry Glasser, Jeffrey Woolf, Joanna Russell
