Our campus
is located in downtown Portland, the Rose City, situated in one of the most
beautiful and livable regions in the world. The city serves as a center of an
area experiencing explosive growth in the high technology industries that helped
nickname it the Silicon Forest. It owes the name to the presence of a large
semiconductor community, spearheaded by Intel’s largest site in the world, and
on an ocean of pristine forest.
This
affords students unparalleled opportunities for professional advancement, as
well as unlimited recreational opportunities featuring beaches of the Pacific
Ocean, clear waters of myriad of streams, rivers, and lakes, and snow-packed
Cascade Mountains.
