Accessible
At Oregon private colleges, 99.8% of undergraduates with financial need receive institutional and/or public aid. Students enrolled at private colleges are almost twice as likely to receive grants from their college as are students enrolled at public institutions.
Liberal Arts
Student success at a small liberal arts college means curriculum designed to engage the whole student. First-rate faculty actively improve students’ competitive edge by cross-training multiple disciplines, such as humanities and arts, business, public administration, science, technology, engineering, and math, fostering their individual and intellectual development.
Community
62% of Oregon private college students graduate in four years. Featuring intimate learning communities, private colleges and universities are able to contribute to a high-quality, sharply intelligent workforce prepared to lead and contribute to a knowledge-based economy.
