International students
No matter where you live, you can learn online with Oregon State — one of the world’s best universities and a leader in online education. You are considered an international student if you are not a U.S. citizen, have not been granted permanent U.S. residency, or completed your high school or undergraduate studies abroad.
INTO Oregon State University
With Oregon State students learning online in 60 countries around the globe, the international student experience is engaging and rewarding. In fact, you’ll be supported by an entire team at INTO OSU. They offer English language training, academic preparation, admissions support, guidance on financing your degree, engagement opportunities with other international students and much more.
