（美）威廉傑瑟普大學（創校於1939年，位於加利福尼亞州洛克林（Rocklin），官方網址：www.jessup.edu）

William Jessup University is a small non-denominational Christian college located in Rocklin, California. The university had over 700 students as of Fall 2010.

History

The University was founded as San Jose Bible College in 1939, in San Jose by William Jessup, the school's first President. By 1951, with the school expanding and the San José State University across the street encroaching, San Jose Bible College moved to a parcel bordered by Coyote Creek, 12th Street and Highway 280. Spanish style classroom buildings and several dormitory buildings made up the small campus.

William Jessup retired in 1960 and was replaced by Alvan L. Tiffin. Later, Woodrow Phillips, an alumnus, was president from 1968 to 1979. The most recent president was Bryce Jessup, a Pepperdine University alumnus and son of the original president. Bryce retired in 2010. A replacement has not been named.

In 1989, the school was renamed San Jose Christian College and in 2002, the school was regionally accredited by WASC. As the school's enrollment increased, it became obvious that additional expansion was necessary. Unable to afford additional property in Santa Clara Valley, it decided to move to the Sacramento Metropolitan city of Rocklin in April 2003. Along with the move, the college was renamed William Jessup University. A branch campus has been retained in San Jose that serves only the degree completion students.

The current location was formerly a Herman Miller Furniture Factory, and many of the buildings were designed by famous architect Frank Gehry.
