“Geomatics is a fascinating but not well known field. We serve young students right out of high school as well as transfer students and returning adults who want to work outdoors, love math and want to learn more about the field. There is high demand for these graduates. Our challenge is increasing knowledge of the degree program and determining if we can reignite the program in Wilsonville at some future date, which is our hope," said Oregon Tech provost Brad Burda.
Oregon Tech has offered Geomatics in the Portland-Metro area since 2012, and in Klamath Falls since 1947. Enrollment at the Wilsonville campus never reached its minimum goals so academic leaders decided to suspend the program and assess its viability going forward.
The Klamath Geomatics program at Oregon Tech will "Teach Out" the four students enrolled in the Wilsonville Geomatics program using streaming technology, or some students may decided to complete the program by moving to the main campus.
