Over the last year, Oregon Tech's Business Management department has developed an exciting new program that provides high school students from around the state a way to accelerate their path to a college degree. Students at participating high schools who are active members of business clubs and take dual credit courses can apply for this accelerated pathway to a college degree. The program guides students into early credit opportunities while in high school, resulting in considerable savings of time and money with a seamless transfer into a business program at Oregon Tech.

Alumni Spotlight ⭐️ Hi, I'm Evan, I graduated from Oregon Tech in 2017. I have gone on to work at Seattle Children's Hospital, one of the top pediatric facilities in the country. I have worked here for over 2 years now and I love it. Working with kids is what I wanted to do for a long time. I enjoy being able to go on journeys with these kids some from birth.
