ABOUT OSU
Oregon State is a leading research university located in
one of the safest, smartest, greenest small cities in the nation.
Situated 90 miles south of Portland, and an hour from the
Cascades or the Pacific Coast, Corvallis is the perfect home
base for exploring Oregon’s natural wonders.
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.
Through discovery, innovation and application, we are meeting
challenges, solving problems and turning ideas into reality.
Founded in 1868, Oregon State is the state’s Land Grant university and is the only university in Oregon to hold both the Carnegie Foundation’s top designation for research institutions and its prestigious Community Engagement classification.
As Oregon’s largest public research university, with $281 million in external funding in the 2012 fiscal year, Oregon State’s impact reaches across the state and beyond. With 12 colleges, 15 Agricultural Experiment Stations, 35 county Extension offices, the Hatfield Marine Sciences Center in Newport and OSU-Cascades in Bend, Oregon State has a presence in every one of Oregon’s 36 counties, with a statewide economic footprint of $1 billion.
Oregon State welcomes a diverse student body of over 26,000 students from across Oregon, all 50 states and more than 100 countries. They can choose from more than 200 undergraduate and more than 80 graduate degree programs,including over 30 degrees offered online. Oregon State increasingly attracts high-achieving students, with national recognized programs in areas such as conservation biology,agricultural sciences, nuclear engineering, forestry, fisheries,and wildlife management, community health, pharmacy and zoology.
Oregon State also ranks high in sustainability, fourth among universities nationwide for using renewable energy and first in the Pac-12 Conference. And our students literally help power the university: 22 exercise machines at Dixon Recreation Center are connected to the grid.
The 400 acre main campus in Corvallis includes a Historic District, making Oregon State one of only a handful of U.S. university campuses listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes such icons as Weatherford Hall, the Memorial Union and Benton Hall, the oldest building on campus.
