Bend Is the Town We All Love

Bend is such a special place for so many reasons. The community is close-knit and friendly. You can ski at Bachelor one day and hike in the Badlands the next. It's got a thriving arts community, been voted Best Small City for Business by Forbes, and is on many "Best Of" outdoor recreation lists.

Our Professors Make All the Difference

8 out of 10 recent graduates said their faculty helped them succeed academically, professionally and personally. In Kim Vierra's project management class, students work on a team to initiate, plan, and execute a project successfully. "The biggest thing I learned from Kim is having tenacity, drive, and believing in yourself. Because she believed in us, and I took that to heart," said Kenny Hersh, Computer Science '20.
