History
Established in 1921.

The University was founded as Simpson Bible Institute in 1921 in Seattle to promote spiritual growth and prepare students for Christian service, especially foreign missions. The University was named after Albert B. Simpson, late nineteenth and early 20th century pastor and revivalist who pioneered the Bible school movement in North America and founded the Christian and Missionary Alliance. The University moved from San Francisco to Redding in 1989 in order to build a new campus, expand its academic programs, and increase its enrollment. The University changed its name from Simpson College and Simpson Graduate School to Simpson University in 2004 in conjunction with its intention to become a more comprehensive institution. The University continues to embrace its long-standing motto–“Gateway to World Service.”
