PSU Higher Education in Prison Program

The Higher Education in Prison Program is the only public bachelor's degree pathway for incarcerated students in Oregon. We are committed to rigorous quality higher education inside Oregon's prisons, and to supporting students upon release through our HEP Reentry Center, so they can continue their education, thrive and contribute meaningfully. We are currently at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility and Oregon State Penitentiary. Offering opportunity, access and support, our program changes lives and makes PSU and the larger community better.
