About seven four-year public institutions are located throughout Oregon, including in the cities of Eugene, Ashland, Corvallis and Monmouth. Most colleges and universities in Oregon are considered small to midsize, and only three are large research universities. Residents of Oregon can attend select colleges in 14 states through the Western Undergraduate Exchange, including in the neighboring states of Idaho, Washington, Nevada and California, and pay no more than 150 percent of the in-state tuition rate.
