Our support for research with emerging technologies is among the strongest in the region if not the country. The School is committed to developing a cutting-edge research and teaching agenda surrounding issues of media and emerging technology. Oregon State University holds both “very high research activity” and “Community Engagement” classifications from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and is one of only two universities in the country with Land-, Sea-, Space- and Sun-Grant designations. Together, these designations mean we produce and share the highest quality research for the benefit of our community, state, country, and world. In addition, U.S. News & World Report named OSU among the “Best Global Universities” (Top 2 percent in the world) and ranked the Online Psychology Bachelor’s Program 2nd in the nation in 2021.
