Knowledge is power.
Get ready to power up.
Our alumni have made some pretty impressive discoveries over the years — they’re responsible for the computer mouse, the modern dentist chair and the artificial heart valve, just to name a few. Imagine being part of that culture of innovation as an undergrad!
Year after year, more high-achieving students choose Oregon State over every other university in Oregon. So prepare to push yourself. Never settle for good enough. Because you’re not just earning a degree. You’re gaining knowledge that you’ll use for a lifetime.
Challenge yourself in the Honors College.
In the Honors College, Oregon State University’s highest-achieving students learn in small, investigative classes with top professors, write an honors thesis and participate in outstanding research opportunities. Many Honors College graduates continue on into graduate, medical and professional schools, including Harvard, Emory, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Mt. Sinai and Oregon Health & Science University.
Participate in cutting-edge research.
From alternative energy, to public health, to climate change, Oregon State students are encouraged to work on the problems they want to solve, while in school. Start a project of your own or partner with graduate students and professors to take your idea to the next level, with Oregon State’s top-notch facilities at your disposal.
Use your degree — before you graduate.
Ready to put that knowledge to the test? You can complete an internship at any time during the academic year or over the summer. You’ll gain valuable on-the-job experience and meet professional contacts who can help jump-start your career when you graduate. And in many cases, you’ll earn a paycheck as well.
Get that global perspective.
Oregon State students have access to nearly 200 study abroad programs in more than 72 countries, many of which have a strong research component. Cool, right? We encourage you to look into our faculty-led programs in particular. They’re great matches for students who’d like support while abroad and for those who have limited
