For ethnographic area or topical area, specific courses (like ATH 210, 211,230,231, 232, or 214) faculty, must have both graduate level academic preparation (minimum 9 credit hours or 6 semester hours) in the specialty area to be taught, as well one year of field experience focused on the ethnographic area or topic to be taught. With four comprehensive campuses, five workforce training and education centers, and 200 community locations in the Portland metropolitan area, our unique role is to make high-quality education accessible to everyone, creating opportunities for our students and contributing to the economic development of our community.
