Serving Oregon students and communities
Thousands of students each year earn degrees, certificates, and training to build successful futures through Oregon's seven public universities, 17 public community colleges, workforce programs, private and independent colleges and universities, and private career and trade schools. The Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC) is the primary state entity responsible for ensuring pathways to postsecondary education success for Oregonians statewide, and serves as a convener of institutions and partners working across the public and private higher education arena.
