Oregon State University

Overview

Oregon State University is a leading public research university located in Corvallis, one of the safest, smartest, greenest small cities in the United States.

Founded in 1868, Oregon State University is one of only two universities in the United States to have Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant and Sun Grant designations. This means OSU is involved with world-changing research in all four areas, something very unique among American universities.

Oregon State University’s outstanding faculty and academic programs consistently attract more high achieving students than any other school in Oregon.
