Earlier this year, Zippia, a California-based website helping people find employment, used the U.S. Department of Education’s college scorecard data finding Linfield is the top college in Oregon for job placement. Linfield College was ranked No. 1 and No. 2. The School of Nursing and the McMinnville campus took the top spots, each earning a 92.5 percent employment rate.
