Portland State University campus provides Baccalaureate, Masters, Doctorate, and Certificate programs.

The campus includes a School of Public Health (a partnership with Oregon Health Science University) and a well known Speech and Hearing clinic providing diagnostic and interventions services for children and adults with communication challenges.
