Postbaccalaureate students

Earning a second bachelor’s degree — or pursuing an undergraduate certificate — online with Oregon State University will help you gain the knowledge and in-demand skills you need to stand out in the job market.

Application deadlines

Oregon State admits new students in each of our four quarterly terms. We encourage postbaccalaureate students to apply by the suggested deadlines listed on this page, but please note that some postbacc application deadlines differ by program. Your application is considered complete when you have submitted the online application and any required supplemental materials, such as your transcripts, as well as paid the application fee.

Term	Deadline^†	Classes start
Summer 2025^*	May 1	June 16^*
Fall 2025	Aug. 1	Sept. 24
Winter 2026	Nov. 1, 2025	Jan. 5
Spring 2026	Feb. 1	March 30

^* June 16 is the first day of summer intersession. Summer classes range from one to 11 weeks in length and have various start dates. View a complete list of summer deadlines.

^† Suggested application deadline only.

Why are our suggested application deadlines earlier than Oregon State’s final application deadlines? We want to give you every chance to succeed, and that means completing your application early so you have plenty of time to complete the Ecampus orientation, understand how your credits will transfer and meet with an advisor to register for your courses.
