Two-week Term – Online

A new option to help students thrive

As part of our continual efforts to support students’ road to a timely graduation through innovative course offerings, Oregon State Ecampus and our faculty partners are excited to launch a two-week term for online courses. These innovative course offerings are designed for students who learn online with OSU Ecampus and on campus in Corvallis.

Benefits of the two-week term

The two-week term will run Sept. 11 – Sept. 24, 2019, and each of the online classes offered will enable learners to conduct a deep-dive into the course material in an accelerated time frame. Students will now be able to enjoy:

• More options in how they are able to complete their degree
• A condensed timeline to fit their busy life schedules
• Additional support services
• The ability to graduate sooner and on time
