OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY:
Oregon State is an internationally recognized public research university, ranked in the top 1.4% of universities worldwide by the Center for World University Rankings. Founded in 1868, Oregon State is the state’s land grant university and is one of only two universities in the U.S. to also have sea grant, space grant and sun grant designations. Committed to teaching, research, and outreach and engagement, Oregon State University promotes economic, social, cultural and environmental progress for the people of Oregon, the nation and the world.
OSU has two campuses located in Corvallis and Bend as well as Extension programs in all 36 Oregon counties, the Hatfield Marine Sciences Center in Newport and a deep portfolio of activity in Portland. Ranked among the top 10 college towns in the nation, Corvallis is one of the safest, smartest, greenest small cities in the country, situated 90 miles south of Portland. Oregon State University has always been a place with a purpose — making a positive difference in quality of life, natural resources and economic prosperity in Oregon and beyond.
Oregon State welcomes a diverse student body of approximately 35,000 students from across Oregon, all 50 states and more than 100 countries and has the privilege and responsibility of providing high-quality, affordable education to our students. About a quarter of all OSU students are among the first generation in their families to attend college. Home to 11 colleges, OSU students can choose from more than 200 undergraduate and 90 graduate degree programs, including over 110 online programs offered through Oregon State Ecampus.
With more than $480 million in competitive research grants and contracts in 2023, and guided by the university’s new strategic plan "Prosperity Widely Shared," Oregon State continues to lead the way in practical, problem-solving research and innovation that improves lives, protects natural resources and drives economic growth to transform our future for the better.
