Top Ranked Programs
Oregon Institute of Technology's program mix is anchored in health and applied-technology fields — a focused portfolio shaped by the institution's polytechnic identity in southern Oregon. Engineering accounts for 20% of graduates, with Business representing 6%, together defining the institution's core academic signature. The largest programs by graduate volume are Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering Technologies/Technicians, Dental Support Services and Allied Professions, and Clinical, Counseling and Clinical, Counseling and Applied Psychology, spanning the health sciences and engineering disciplines that give Oregon Institute of Technology its distinctive applied character. The strongest national rankings cluster in engineering and allied health fields. Azimuth ranks Computer Engineering Technologies/Technicians #2 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with graduates earning median earnings of $112,169 — a strong outcome for a program of 59 graduates. Azimuth ranks Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering #66 for median earnings four years after enrollment among nonprofit four-year institutions, with median earnings of $101,534 across a cohort of 27 graduates. Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions and Mechanical Engineering round out the top-earning cluster, with median earnings of $98,594 and $95,470 respectively, reflecting the institution's depth in technical and health-professional programs that connect directly to regional and national labor markets. These programs represent high-mobility, direct-to-workforce pathways — graduates in engineering and allied health fields typically enter the labor market immediately after graduation, and four-year median earnings reflect actual hiring outcomes rather than a transitional period before graduate study. The Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions program combines meaningful cohort scale with strong median earnings, making it the single largest contributor to Oregon Institute of Technology's aggregate graduate earnings. Across 24 programs serving roughly 713 students annually, the institution concentrates its degree output in fields with consistent employer demand — a pattern that supports both early-career earnings and longer-term upward mobility.
