Local Opportunities for Global Degrees

Local Opportunities for Global Degrees is a GlobalPDX endeavor to create a comprehensive resource for prospective learners.

Supporting Global Changemakers as they expand their skills is an essential part of putting Oregon on the map as a hub for international impact. In an effort to make this resource as comprehensive as possible, we welcome all educational institutions around Oregon to highlight their globally oriented degrees on this site.

Lewis & Clark College

Exploring is at the core of Lewis & Clark’s identity, and our liberal arts education reflects that. Studying the liberal arts means that all of your classes will be grounded in critical thinking, written and verbal communication, teamwork, and problem solving. You’ll draw on these skills throughout your life, no matter where you work or what you do.

Lewis & Clark is an internationally-oriented campus that proudly values overseas study. Nearly 60 percent of Lewis & Clark undergraduates study overseas or off‐campus, choosing from more than 30 programs each year — most offered outside of Western Europe. The College’s commitment to international education is deeply rooted and widespread. In fact, many students report that they chose to attend Lewis & Clark expressly because of its robust international programming.

Multnomah University

When you join the Multnomah family, you join a community of driven learners, passionate explorers, and Christ-followers. Motivated by academic excellence and rooted in a biblical vision of faith, we step out in boldness. We don’t shy away from the effort or sacrifice required for education or for the life of faith, because we know that perseverance produces character.

IPSL Global Institute at NUNM

IPSL is an institute within the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), an institution accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. IPSL is known as the IPSL Global Institute at NUNM, designing and delivering global programs that unite academic study, ethical volunteer service, and engaged research opportunities for service-minded people.

IPSL is committed to its mission and dedicated to promoting an ethic of service. We invest over 83% of our revenues directly back into the communities where we serve.

University of Oregon

Welcome to the life of the mind. Our faculty members are as busy learning as they are teaching. This ongoing pursuit—and sharing—of fresh ideas and better ways is what sets apart top-tier research universities like the UO. We want to energize you with a liberal arts education that rewards your curiosity, sharpens your thinking, and challenges you to live your best life. In the process, the fruits of our teaching, research, and public service efforts return billions to Oregon’s economy every year. The benefits for society and our world? Priceless.

Oregon State University

Oregon State was founded more than 150 years ago as a land grant institution, building on the idea that everybody deserves access to an education that transforms their lives. Yours could be next.
