Oregon is home to a variety of private institutions. These schools provide students with various educational opportunities, with some specializing in forms of medicine, while others providing comprehensive liberal arts educations as well as research and study abroad opportunities. Private schools usually have higher tuitions than public institutions but offer smaller class sizes, better student to teacher ratios, and more personalized educations. Due to their smaller size, private schools tend not to have as many programs available to students as public schools.
Some of the more notable private institutions in Oregon include:
- George Fox University (Newburg)
- Lewis & Clark College (Portland)
- Pacific University (Forest Grove)
- Reed College (Portland)
- Willamette University (Salem)
The state of Oregon also operates a number of community colleges throughout the state to provide two year educations for students interested in transfer to four year institutions, and career/vocational training for those individuals who seek employment opportunities in a given field. The state is also home to private career colleges and schools that provide short term career and vocational training for high demand fields, often at prices higher than those of a community college.
