Oregon Colleges & Universities: Pacific Northwest Degrees

Published: November, 2010

The 362 miles of Oregon coastline are famous for dramatic scenery and fishing villages, the Willamette Valley for its fertile wine production, and the city of Portland for its effervescent arts scene. Approximately 2 million people live in Portland, Oregon, home to more breweries than any other city in the world. In addition to beer, Portland residents enjoy a growing art scene. In 2006, American Style magazine ranked Portland among the top ten Big City Arts Destinations in the U.S.

Industry in Oregon has historically relied upon the state's natural resources, such as the fertile Willamette Valley, the salmon fisheries of the Columbia and Snake Rivers, and the vast forests that make Oregon one of the largest timber-harvesting states in the country. Today, Oregon is also known for its technology firms and other successful corporations, including:
  • Nike
  • Intel
  • Harry and David Operations
  • Lithia Motors

Oregon is a state in flux, with its population increasing nearly 20% over the past decade according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Recently, many young people have been migrating to Oregon for educational opportunities and career placement. Popular degrees include accounting, technological entrepreneurship, and culinary arts. Oregon's easy access to cultural and recreational resources makes the state a hot destination for both college degrees and advanced career education.
