Oregon State University
Exceptional students, an outstanding faculty and a challenging curriculum make Oregon State University an internationally-recognised center for higher education
A university experience like no other
OSU combines high academic standards with a large, welcoming student community. Situated in Corvallis, one of the most vibrant cities in the north-west of America, OSU was ranked by the Carnegie Foundation as a 'very high research institute'. The university's 20,300 students, drawn from more than 100 countries, enjoy outstanding facilities, world-class teaching and beautiful surroundings.
Reflecting OSU's academic reputation is its challenging and varied curriculum. Programs in forestry, nuclear engineering, biochemistry, zoology and food science are among the top-ranked of their kind in the US and the university receives more research funding –$208m in 2007 – than all other state-supported educational institutions in Oregon combined. OSU is also proud to be one of only two land, sea, space and sun grant-designated research universities in America.
