Portland Colleges
Portalanders, did you know that there are twenty-two 4-year colleges and universities in Portland? I didn’t! You have quite the opportunity to learn in in Portland! I thought there were a half-dozen or so (there were seven that actually remembered) … and after reading the list, I was chagrined to realize that there are a lot of colleges out there that I was either a) not counting as a college or university or b) not even knowing they existed. I am a bad Portlander!
In alphabetical order, the 22 4-year colleges include:
1. Apollo College-Portland Inc
2. The Art Institute of Portland**
3. Birthingway College of Midwifery
4. Cascade College
5. Concordia University**
6. DeVry University-Oregon
7. Everest College
8. ITT Technical Institute
9. Lewis & Clark College*
10. Linfield College-Portland Campus *
11. Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary *
12. National College of Naturopathic Medicine*
13. Oregon College of Art and Craft
14. Oregon College of Oriental Medicine

19. University of Portland*
20. Warner Pacific College

* I could list these colleges off the top of my head. Seven. Seven out of twenty-two? That means I get an “F” in knowledge of Portland education opportunities.
** I recognized these names after seeing them, which means I’ve heard of them in the Portland area but didn’t remember thinking about them.
How many colleges could you list off the top of your head? How many did you recognize when you saw the list? Which school/s do you/did you go to? (I’m a Viking for my second degree.)
