On April 7, Bloomberg Businessweek recognized UP as the number one school in Oregon for return on investments in terms of how much bang UP students get for their buck.
Schools were ranked by how much a student spends getting a degree and how much on average a graduate from that school makes over the course of his or her career.
"This shows that the value of the UP education lasts throughout a lifetime," Laurie Kelley, the assistant vice president of Marketing and Communications said.
Bloomberg Businessweek estimates the 30-year net return on investment for UP graduates is $779,600.
Oregon State University, Linfield College and the University of Oregon were runners-up.
