Oregon has 65 degree-granting higher education institutions, which represent 1.3% of all such institutions in the United
States. These institutions enrolled a total of 241,043 students as of fall 2015 (207,261 of which are studying at the
undergraduate level and 33,782 at the graduate level). The fall 2015 figure is a decrease of 14,000 students (or -5.5%) from
the number enrolled in the fall of 2012.
Among the total student body, 70,424 (59,408 undergraduates and 11,016 graduate students) were taking at least one
course at a distance. This is 29.2% of the enrolled student body, which is lower than the national average rate of 29.7%. The
number of students taking distance education courses in the state increased by 12,681 (or 22.0%) between fall 2012 and fall
2015. This is higher than the national level of growth of 11.0%.
30,321 students in Oregon are taking all of their courses at a distance, made up of 21,699 undergraduates and 8,622
graduates. This represents 12.6% of all students enrolled in the state, a rate that is lower than the national average of 14.3%.
A total of 18,062 (or 59.6% of these exclusively online students) live in Oregon, the remainder come from outside of the
state. This rate is higher than the national in-state average of 55.1%.
The number of students that take any of their courses on campus, including those who take all of their courses on
campus and those who take a mix of on-campus and distance courses, is 210,722, or 87.4% of the total student enrollment in
Oregon. This number represents a decrease in proportion on campus from the four years prior (90.8% from 231,555
students in 2012). The -3.4% rate is a larger change than the national 1.7% decrease.
