History

Established in 1944.

Founded by Dr. Bebe Patten in Oakland, CA, Patten University has earned an outstanding reputation for thoughtful mentorship within a faith-​based tradition that values social justice, leadership, and community service.

Looking to offer students an alternative to skyrocketing tuition and crippling student loan debt, Patten entered a new phase of its history. In 2012 Patten joined with UniversityNow Network in a mission to ensure that high quality post-​secondary education could be available to people everywhere regardless of age, location, ethnicity or financial situation.
