For the last decade, OSU has placed in the national top-10 rankings for online education in the U.S. News & World Report. In 2024, the Report awarded five top-25 rankings to Oregon State University:

  • No. 2 – Best Online Psychology Bachelor’s Programs.
  • No. 3 – Best Online Business Bachelor’s Programs.
  • No. 4 – Best Online Bachelor’s Programs (Overall).
  • No. 13 – Best Online Bachelor’s Programs for Veterans.
  • No. 22 – Best Online Master’s in Engineering Programs.

Here’s an excerpt from the OSU Article, “Oregon State earns 10th straight top-10 national ranking for online education”:

“More than 11,000 OSU students learned exclusively online last fall, accounting for over 30% of the student body. Ecampus — in partnership with academic advisors, administrators and faculty from all 11 OSU colleges as well as the Honors College and Graduate School — serves students in all 50 states and nearly 60 countries. 

One of those students was John Dusek, a recent graduate who earned bachelor’s degrees in horticulture and sustainability online. He owns and operates a greenhouse in central Michigan, and his Ecampus coursework provided tangible, hands-on knowledge that enables him to positively impact his community.

“I am better at horticulture since going back to school. I produce higher quality plants at a lower cost while producing less pollution, less nutrient runoff and much less pesticide use,” Dusek said. “My experience at OSU has given me the tools to be able to say, ‘You can do something, and your actions are super, super important.’”"
