Oregon Tech is one of the nation’s top universities based on contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research, and promoting public service, according to Washington Monthly magazine’s “2022 College Guide and Rankings.”
In addition to ranking high at No. 15 on the 2022 Bachelor’s Colleges Ranking, Oregon Tech is a top university in Oregon at No. 40 on the magazine’s list of “Best Bang for the Buck West Colleges,” which recognizes four-year institutions that “help non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.”
According to the publication’s website, Washington Monthly takes a different approach to rankings, by focusing on data that is more reliable and relevant to the majority of students, as well as to policymakers.
The Washington Monthly’s measures are based on publicly available data largely collected by the federal government.
