Visit Campus
Take a Campus Tour
Visiting Lewis & Clark is the best way to get to know us. Our three campuses—undergraduate, graduate, and law—are nestled in a forest just six miles from downtown Portland, and we have a free shuttle that will take you there.
Our undergraduate campus spans a ravine and is surrounded by trees, giving you ample space to explore and connect with nature.
Our law school is located next door to Tryon Creek State Park, which is where you’ll find members of our community hiking the 13 miles of stunning nature trails.
And our graduate school has an expansive green lawn that serves as a backyard, commonly listed as our students’ favorite place on campus. It’s also where our bee garden is housed!

Explore Portland
Lewis & Clark is located in the lush hills of South Portland, the city’s “sixth quadrant.” But our beautiful campuses aren’t the entire story—our location offers something that most other schools do not: an ideal setting in a vibrant, progressive city with endless networking, entertainment, and cultural resources.

Getting Outdoors
The benefits and beauty of the Pacific Northwest are right outside our door. This area contains some of the most spectacular and well-maintained scenic areas in the United States.

Good Eats
Portland is nationally renowned for its food scene, which includes options for almost every food preference and dietary need. We were even given the title of best pizza in the country from Modernist Pizza!

Things to Do
It’s impossible to provide an exhaustive list of things to do and see in a city as vibrant and diverse as Portland. We can promise you this, though: you won’t lack for great opportunities to have fun.
Leah Huffington BA ’25More about LeahAs the perfect blend of city and nature, Portland shines with endless possibilities for exploration, adventure, and self-discovery.
Uwella Rubuga BA ’19More about UwellaI loved that our campus was far away from downtown Portland, but also accessible by bus or car in 30 minutes or less. We could also bike too, which was awesome with all the serene amazing views!
Helen Guyton BA ’23More about HelenI love the access to the outdoors that we have in Portland. I feel so lucky to have snow-capped mountains, forests, and the ocean all within such a close radius. Taking a breath in nature is the best stress reliever from school!

Upcoming Events
GE @ 4: Reflecting on the last four years of GE
As you might know, our GE curriculum turned 4 this year (is it too on the nose to say “this is the curriculum’s graduation year”?)! In any case, the GE Steering Committee decided to devote our annual (end-of) spring workshop to doing an overall check-in on the curriculum. We want to know how it’s going generally, and possibly, to identify problem areas that have emerged over last four years. The information yielded from the assessment work we’ve been doing through the years was another reason that prompted us to this decision: there’s so much of it we need help making sense of it all.
Detail on how to RSVP will be added soon.
