This page is for all of us who were once OGI and OGC faculty, staff, or students.
The Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology (OGI) was a private graduate school of science and engineering located in Hillsboro, Oregon.
The school was founded in 1963 under the name Oregon Graduate Center for Study and Research. Tektronix donated a 74-acre plot where the campus was built. The first 11 students enrolled in M.S. and Ph.D. programs in 1969.
Twenty years later, the name was changed to OGI to better reflect the school's mission. The 90's felt another growth spurt for the campus. The student population increased. The campus building space doubled with the addition of the Cooley Science Center and the Wilson Clark Center for Lifelong Learning.
OGI merged with Oregon Health & Science University in 2011 and changed its name again to the OGI School of Science and Engineering. In 2008, the school's name was changed one last time to the Department of Science and Engineering and by 2010, the department was dissolved and the academic programs and research were disseminated to other OHSU institutes and departments.
