Oregon Public Colleges and Universities

Four-Year Public Colleges and Universities in Oregon

Colleges and universities in Oregon encourage a great deal of exploration, environmentalism, and creativity. Some students feel that the educational opportunities and academic freedom they experience are a direct result of the lush and nurturing environment in which Oregon's majestic forests grow. Suffice to say that it is difficult to have a really bad day in a place where so many people are happy and thriving.

The State of Oregon administers its own system of higher education, known as public colleges or universities, just like local governments and cities operate their own public K-12 school systems for local residents.

Financial support for Oregon public colleges and universities comes directly from the state government, from tax dollars and other revenue the state collects in lieu of private endowments. Oregon public colleges and universities may also receive funds from the federal government and private sources, but in many cases the state is the primary source of support of public colleges.

The state of Oregon offers you an array of distance learning programs and online colleges to enroll in if you are interested in continuing education. By 2000 8.6 percent of the entire population was enrolled in college. Continue this tradition of higher education by finding the program and area of study right for you.
