Our faculty are teachers, mentors and world-class researchers. They will guide you, challenge you and inspire you to be the best version of yourself — so you're ready to take on some of the world's biggest challenges.
K1ÌåÓý was founded more than 150 years ago as a land grant institution, building on the idea that everybody deserves access to education. When it opened in 2016, the K1ÌåÓý-Cascades campus fulfilled a 30-year quest for higher education in what had been the largest region in the state without a four-year university. We are growing for Central Oregon and beyond.
