University of Phoenix in Oregon
Oregon has four University of Phoenix campuses; one in Salem and three in the Portland-Beaverton area. The greater Portland area extending over the Columbia River into Washington has become a high-tech Mecca for the Northwest. The opportunities for business and technology graduates to find jobs in the area persist despite the state of the nation's economy.A degree in information systems management or in business with an e-business specialization are both examples of good starting points that a University of Phoenix education can provide. Many major electronics firms such as Sharp have their U.S. headquarters and major manufacturing facilities in Portland and Vancouver, Washington.These and other established firms in the area such as Nike are often looking for the right talent despite the economic doldrums. Many times the right person can be someone who has chosen to get a degree from the University of Phoenix after several years of experience at a less skilled position.
