Oregon Colleges and Universities

University of Oregon, southern Oregon university, Portland state university, and Oregon state university. I have a 3.3 gpa and a 1650 say score. I run track and cross country and have 80 of community service and a part time job.
Which one, school, would be best if I wanted to own my own fleet feet or Nike store?

UofO and OSU are very competitive to get into but all you can do is apply.
PSU and SOU are a shoe-in. I go to PSU right now and you can get in with a 2.0 GPA.

I'm a senior and I plan on applying to mostly art schools. But I want to apply to a few liberal arts colleges as well, but ones with very good art programs. What schools, in California or Oregon, have good art programs? (Specifically in graphic design or advertising.)

Since you are from out of the state of California (no one here calls it Cali) you will need to avoid all state colleges and state universities as it is almost impossible to get into them as an out of state student. This will greatly cut down the number you need to consider.

I’m currently a high school junior living in California and I want to apply to University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Portland State University, and Southern Oregon University. I know that PSU and SOU are eligible for the WUE with specific major choices, but I was wondering what makes you eligible for in-state tuition. Could I get it with an Oregon drives license or do you need to own property there? The out of state tuition is very expensive and I was wondering about any scholarships or something else that can help.

You can read about Oregon residency requirements for state univ. resident tuition rates here:
* http://www.ous.edu/stucoun/prospstu/residency/
Click on the links given and read all the information. You will see the word domicle used in the information. It means your permanent, legal residence (home/apartment.)

The information from the University of Oregon regarding residency is a bit easier to understand than some of legal wording on the site given above. This is the link:
* http://admissions.uoregon.edu/freshmen/residency/FAQ

You will need more than an Oregon driver's license to be considered a state resident for tuition purposes.

If you need to learn about scholarships, first talk with a high school counselor. There may be some available just for students graduating from your high school.

Also look on the financial aid web pages of the schools that you have listed in your question. There should be information on scholarships that the schools make available to their own students. However, the deadlines for applying for those school-funded scholarships for the 2012-2013 school year may have already passed.

You can also look for scholarships for which you may qualify/to which you may wish to apply by using what I think is the best, most reliable database: Scholarship Search offered by the well-respected College Board:
* https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search
Click on the Start button.
If you choose to register (free – registration is not required to use Scholarship Search) so you may return later and modify your search strategy, feel secure that you will not receive spam emails. Do not select too many defining terms in your search strategy, which may result in a poor scholarship search result.

I am thinking of taking a road trip to check out colleges and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to quality colleges between LA and Oregon. I am looking for a semi-rural or suberbanish location but I'm pretty flexible at this time. I have a 3.9 GPA and I play varsity baseball. I'm interested in a career in education or journalism.

-University of Southern California(USC)
-University of California Los Angeles(UCLA)
-Stanford University
-University of California Berkeley
-University of California Davis
-Santa Clara University
-Oregon State University

Those are a couple

I am curious if anyone knows of colleges (in OR) that will give in state tuition to undocumented students. Also, if there are any colleges that give financial aid for these students.

Well, not my alma mater, the University of Oregon.

I've been wanting to go to a college in California on the beach, but since out of school tuition is so high, I'm trying to find some in Oregon! :)

Check out University of Oregon, Reed College, and Lewis & Clark College.

Well my family have been thinking of moving to Oregon, so I been wanting to know what are some colleges that include business majors in Oregon?

I can also major in biology, but I feel animal science would be more directly related to becoming an Animal Keeper.

I might even consider northern California, if there's nothing good in Oregon.


As usual, I can't seem to find the right words to search in google - I'm not getting any useful results. =/
If possible, could you name a school in Southern Oregon? It's not mandatory, just preferable.

What are some good colleges in Oregon for anthropology majors? Any community ones?

I only know one in South CA in Mission Viejo, called Saddleback College. Im looking for one in Oregon because Im planning on moving there. Please help me find one A.S.A.P! Thank You.

I'm not sure if they have a waiting list, but you might want to try Clackamas Community College (its about 20 min outside of Portland). It's a great community college, and they have a partnership with OHSU (a prominent hospital/ medical university). Because CCC is outside of Portland, they may have less nursing applicants. Good luck!!!
