About This School
Oregon Health & Science University is a public institution located in Portland, Oregon with approximately 836 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $114,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) is a public research university focusing primarily on health sciences with a main campus, including two hospitals, in Portland, Oregon.
This is a strong option for students committed to a career in health sciences — graduates earn a median of $114,900 ten years out, which is exceptional, and the median debt of just $16,625 is remarkably low given that outcome. With only 788 undergraduates and a focus squarely on health-related programs, OHSU is a highly specialized institution, not a traditional college experience — if you're not certain about a healthcare path, it's probably not the right fit.
