Want to pursue an Oregon State Ecampus degree? To determine the total number of quarter-term credits required for your Ecampus program of interest, you'll need to check the graduation requirements of that degree/program and subtract your best estimate of how many transfer credits you have from the program's total number of credits. Most four-year undergraduate programs require a total of 180 quarter-term credits.

Just want to take a few Oregon State Ecampus courses? Most courses are 3 to 4 quarter-term credits each. Therefore, four courses might equal 12 credits. Check the Ecampus schedule of classes to review online courses and their numbers of credits. Course credits are found in parentheses next to course titles.
