There are many, many colleges and universities in the United States that offer a variety of aviation majors. The University Aviation Association has a listing of many schools that offer such degrees.

Here is a school list- http://www.uaa.aero/sitefiles/uaa/resourcebin/CurrentMbrList_Inst.pdf

They don't list a school in Portland but the Portland community college offers a 2 year degree in aviation-
http://www.pcc.edu/programs/aviation-science/

Mt. San Antonio College is about 25 miles east of Los Angeles that is well known for their aviation program and the U. of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering in Los Angeles (not a UAA member school) offers an aviation safety and security program- http://viterbi.usc.edu/aviation/

Additionally, this link has a listing of schools with aviation degrees that can help you locate a school by state- http://www.flightschoollist.com/aviationcolleges.htm

You should contact the school you are interested in about getting a student visa and requirements to attend.

Good Luck,
