About Online Learning

We understand that today's student cannot always relocate or adjust their schedules in order to pursue an education in a traditional setting. Whether you're a working professional, raising a family or serving in the military, Oregon State Ecampus meets your needs by providing access to rigorous, flexible educational opportunities whenever and wherever you need to learn.

Your online classroom

Ecampus classes are delivered asynchronously and developed by the same Oregon State faculty who teach on campus. Faculty work with Ecampus instructional designers and multimedia developers to ensure that classes meet industry best practices and utilize the latest technologies to create an enriching, interactive learning environment.

Student-instructor and student-student interactions are highly engaging and typically occur via email or online discussion boards. Instructors often provide one-on-one feedback to students on the phone or video conferencing software such as Skype, Webex and Google Hangouts.
