Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) is a public university based in Klamath Falls and the Portland metropolitan area, with a presence throughout the Pacific Northwest. We’re also Oregon’s only polytechnic university, meaning we emphasize technical subjects and applied sciences, and encourage students to pursue their passions and professional opportunities through internships, externships, and field experiences. But our distinction doesn’t stop there. Through our nearly 50 bachelor’s and master's degree programs, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Oregon Tech offers a rigorous, experiential education.
