About

As Oregon’s premier public polytechnic university, the Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) is best known for its hands-on, career-focused education, featuring nationally recognized programs in medical imaging technology, renewable energy engineering, and allied health sciences.

Driven by intensive lab work and mandatory externships, Oregon Tech consistently delivers on a strong return on investment, boasting some of the highest graduate employment rates and starting salaries in the Pacific Northwest.
