\u201cWe are proud that Oregon State is recognized nationally as a model of success for undergraduate and graduate online education,\u201d said Edward Feser, OSU provost and executive vice president. \u201cWe owe that reputation to the work of more than 800 outstanding Oregon State faculty members who partner with our talented OSU Ecampus staff and a heavy emphasis on student success.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. News & World Report bases its ranking of online bachelor\u2019s programs on four factors: student engagement; faculty credentials and training; services and technology; and expert opinion. Overall, Oregon State scored 96 points out of 100.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes Oregon State Ecampus unique is the fact that our learners can choose from the same offerings, learn from the same world-class faculty and earn the same degrees as OSU\u2019s on-campus students,\u201d said Lisa L. Templeton, associate provost for OSU Ecampus. \u201cOur online classes meet industry best practices and utilize the latest technologies to create an enriching, interactive learning environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

OSU Ecampus delivers 25 bachelor\u2019s degrees online to students worldwide. A hallmark of Ecampus programs \u2013 at the undergraduate and graduate levels \u2013 is the degree of interactivity and hands-on work students are able to do at a distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an Ecampus student, I wasn\u2019t tied to my computer. I did birding field trips with a professional birder and on my own, which helped me get my job today,\u201d said Jordan Levi, a bird research technician in New York who earned a B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences<\/a> last June. \u201cI chose Oregon State because they had such a highly ranked online program, and I knew their fisheries and wildlife program would really expand my knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n
