ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿Ú-Cascades is growing to 3,000 to 5,000 students to meet state education goals. The expanding campus serves students from Central Oregon, Oregon, the U.S. and around the world.
When it opened in 2016, the ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿Ú-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. Bend and Central Oregon form Oregon’s fastest growing region and one of its most vibrant economies. Yet the region lags behind the rest of Oregon in higher educational attainment.

As ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿Ú-Cascades expands, it has the capacity to transform students’ lives – including first-generation college students, underserved populations, and adults seeking career advancement.
ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿Ú - Cascades is accredited by the , one of seven regional accrediting bodies recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
