Oregon Institute of Technology- Klamath Falls
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaOregon Institute of Technology, also known as Oregon Tech or OIT, is an accredited university in the Oregon University System, and the only public institute of technology in the northwest United States. Located in Klamath Falls, Oregon, it provides undergraduate and graduate degrees in many technical and health related fields. OIT also maintains four sites in Portland, Oregon, one site in La Grande, Oregon and a partner location with Boeing in Seattle, Washington.
Academics
OIT has earned a substantial regional reputation for excellent academic programs in the various professional disciplines of engineering, technology and health professions, resulting in its graduates being heavily recruited by companies in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. Admission information reported by the university indicates an average SAT score and GPA of 1060 and 3.51, respectively, with 85% of the student population being residents of the state of Oregon.
Oregon Institute of Technology earned a spot in the top 10 among Baccalaureate Colleges in the West in the 2008 and 2009 editions of "America's Best Colleges" by U.S.News & World Report. The university also ranked fourth in the Western ranking of the Top Public Baccalaureate Colleges.
Engineering
OIT currently offers a variety of degrees in engineering and engineering technology, including a well-established program in Civil Engineering, as well as the more recent addition of undergraduate curricula in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. A study of Civil Engineering graduates revealed 92% were successfully employed within 6 months of earning their degree, with a further 6% enrolled in graduate school.
The school of engineering is recognized for producing graduates with a more comprehensive knowledge of practical design principles (in addition to standard engineering theory) than many other institutions, and has seen extensive recruitment by top corporations and design firms as well as state and federal agencies. Starting salaries for OIT engineering grads have exceeded the national average in each of the last 5 years. Additionally, OIT has acquired a solid record of placing students in highly ranked graduate programs at schools such as Stanford, University of California, Berkeley and The University of Washington.
