Welcome to OIT - well, at least welcome to OIT's webpages! Please look around at OIT's courses, faculty, facilities, and opportunities. We offer a wide range of technology- and health-related courses that are challenging, applied, and relevant. We are very proud of our small classes, the quality of our faculty, and the sense of belonging that is felt everywhere at OIT. At OIT you can attend as a full-time student or a part-time student; you can take classes in person or attend from anywhere in the world through our distance-education programs.

Here are a few quick facts about our institution that I would want to know if I were looking for a place to continue or renew my education:

• OIT is ranked by USNews & World Report as one of the top 10 baccalaureate institutions in the west, and number four among public institutions
• OIT prides itself with its hands-on, applied programs, where the student-to-faculty ratio is 15:1, and student internships and externships with professionals in the workforce are the norm rather than the exception
• OIT graduates achieve 98 percent placement success post degree
• The average starting salary for an OIT graduate is nearly $48,000 per year
• Our student athletes are just that - students and athletes - with average GPAs well above 3.0 and records of achievement in NAIA Division II, including two men's basketball championships (2004 and 2008)

So whether you are interested in attending class on one of our main campuses (Klamath Falls and Portland), one of our satellite facilities (La Grande, Ore., and Seattle, Wash.), or online, we hope you will consider the Opportunities for success, Intimate setting, and Teaching focus that is OIT. Welcome to OIT!
