The Value of a PSU Degree

A better-educated population means lower unemployment and higher income. It also means a well trained workforce able to meet regional needs for entrepreneurs, critical thinkers, new leaders and leadership opportunities; for partnerships, and for better-prepared citizens.

At Portland State the value of a degree goes far beyond the needs of the individual… it ripples through the entire community, city and state.
