An Oregon Tech degree is noted as having the second highest return on investment (ROI) of any colleges or universities in Oregon and No. 74 in the nation.
In the latest edition of the College ROI report, PayScale’s College Salary Report is based on the alumni salary data of 1.6 million bachelor graduates, representing more than 4,000 colleges and universities across the U.S. Placing at No. 74 nationwide as one of the Best Value Colleges, the Payscale College Salary Report lists Oregon Tech’s average base salary at $77,000.
The data used in PayScale's College Return on Investment report is collected through ongoing, online compensation surveys.
