The State of Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC) has approved the bachelor of arts/bachelor of science undergraduate degree program in child behavioral health for the Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health. The Ballmer Institute thanks the commitment of leadership, faculty, and staff as well as the outpouring of support from community partners and government leaders for their confidence in the Institute’s mission. 

“With this full approval, our inaugural class of students can now enroll in the first academic program of its kind,” Randy Kamphaus, acting executive director, said. “I am confident we will be able to offer a program that will address disparities and have a profound impact for all youth now and for generations to come.”
