About Courses

Throughout the year, Ecampus offers over 300 credit courses in more than 40 subjects to students off-campus who prefer the flexibility of online learning and distance education.

What courses are offered, and when?

Our Schedule of Classes provides you with a complete term-by-term listing of courses, which follow the quarter term system at OSU. Each course links to its own page of information, and many include a class syllabus link to preview assignments and deadlines.

How are courses delivered?

The majority of Extended Campus courses are delivered online through the Blackboard (Bb) Learning Portal System, which requires a user login and password to access your courses. Several Ecampus courses may entail a combination of delivery methods (i.e. video & web), or are offered at off-site locations around Oregon.
