Oregon Private College Week
The Alliance and its members were excited to welcome back prospective students to an in-person Oregon Private College Week (OPCW) July 25 – 29, 2022!
During OPCW, twelve of Oregon’s private, independent colleges hosted concurrent sessions that offered informational presentations about admissions, financial aid, and academic programs.
Stay tuned for information on OPCW 2023!

Accessible
At Oregon private colleges, 89% of undergraduates with financial need receive institutional and/or public aid and 99.6% of first-generation students receive institutional and/or public aid.
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
64% 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.
