to the
Possibilities
Oregon State University is known
throughout the state, the nation, and the
world for the excellence of its programs
and the quality of its people. Graduate
schools, professional schools, and
employers rightfully expect quality when
they receive applications from OSU
students.
Oregon State University has earned its
reputation through a commitment to
helping students prepare for the rest of
their lives. That means educating them
for a career, but it also means much
more.
Our students gain analytical and
critical thinking skills that help them
become productive members of society.
They also develop interpersonal skills and
a general knowledge of the arts,
humanities, and sciences that will allow
them to appreciate life.

Oregon State University recognizes that
our mission and goals must be supported by
sound institutional values. As we pursue
our mission and goals, we recognize that the
individuals comprising our extended
university community are the source of
our creativity, reputation, and vitality.
The following values are fundamental to
our success:
Statewide Campus
Oregon State University has a historic and
unique role in Oregon. As a land-grant
university, our heritage is articulated in the
statement “the state of Oregon is the

emphasize the importance of extending the
university into every community in Oregon.
OSU will provide learning opportunities for
Oregonians, and will create and apply
knowledge that contributes to the
prosperity of the state and its quality of life.
Compelling Learning
Experience
Oregon State University is committed to
creating an atmosphere of intellectual
curiosity, academic freedom, diversity, and
personal empowerment. This will enable
everyone to learn with and from others.
This compelling learning experience
celebrates knowledge; encourages personal
growth and awareness; acknowledges the
benefits of diverse experiences, world views,
learning styles, and values; and engenders
personal and societal values that benefit the
individual and society. OSU will develop
curricula based on sound disciplinary
knowledge and input from practitioners.
Students will acquire skills and knowledge

addition to being a land-grant institution.
We will measure our success by: the caliber
of entering students, the accomplishments
of students and alumni, the quality of the
faculty, the quality of instructional and
research facilities, the effectiveness and
productivity of engagement with businesses
and constituents, and the support for
research and scholarship.
Accountability
We are committed stewards of the loyalty
and good will of our alumni and friends,
and the human, fiscal and physical resources
entrusted to us.
Diversity
We value diversity because it enhances our
education and because it provides tools to
be culturally respectful, professionally
competent and civically responsible.
Respect
We encourage respect, humanity, and
integrity in our treatment of each other,
and we care for the well being and safety
of others.
Responsibility
We have a responsibility to society to
contribute to its social, cultural, political,
aesthetic, ethical, and economic well-being.
Truth
We honor and impart principles of academic
honesty, freedom, truth, and integrity.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Students are our most important clients.
The quality and completeness of their
education is our top priority.
We have the responsibility to
students, staff, and faculty to help them
grow personally and professionally.
We have a responsibility to society
to contribute to its social, aesthetic,
and economic well-being.
Our social responsibility extends to
offering informed criticism even when
that criticism may not be well received,

activities, we honor and impart principles of academic honesty, freedom, and
integrity.
Diversity is a key to our success. Not
only are our doors open to men and
women alike without regard to race,
ethnicity, personal belief, disability, or
sexual preference, we also have a moral
obligation to open the doors wider for
any groups that are under-represented or
that have suffered from discrimination.
GUIDELINES

HISTORY OF OSU
Founded in 1858 as a small, private
academy called Corvallis College,
Oregon State University has developed
into a major teaching, research, and
public service institution.
College-level courses were introduced
into the curriculum about 1865, and two
men and one woman fulfilled the
requirements for baccalaureate degrees
in 1870, becoming the first graduates of
a state-assisted college in the western
United States.
In its early days, Corvallis College was
maintained by the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and was only partly
state-supported. The state assumed
complete control in 1885.
With that assumption of state control,
the college became known as Oregon
Agricultural College. The name was
changed to Oregon State College in the
1920s and to Oregon State University on
March 6, 1961.
In designating Corvallis College as
Oregon’s agricultural institution, the
state legislature accepted the provisions
of the Morrill Act, signed into law by
President Abraham Lincoln on July 2,
1862. The act provided grants of land to
be used by states for the sole purpose of
endowing, supporting, and maintaining
publicly controlled colleges.
State assistance to higher education in
Oregon started on October 27, 1868,
when Corvallis College was designated
as “the agricultural college of the state of
Oregon.”
Following designation of the college
as a land grant institution, agriculture
was added to the existing arts and
science curriculum in 1869. The
curriculum continued to expand, with
professorships in commerce (1880),
agriculture (1883), household economy
(1889), and engineering (1889) resulting
in the establishment in 1908 of the
professional schools of commerce,
agriculture, home economics, and
engineering. The first summer session
was also held in 1908.
Curricular growth continued with the
schools of forestry (1913), mines (1913),
pharmacy (1917), education (1918),
basic arts and sciences (1922), and
health and physical education (1931).
In 1932, the Oregon State Board of
Higher Education established the School
of Science for the state system at
Corvallis, eliminated the School of
Mines, and reduced the School of Health
and Physical Education to a division.
Major work in business administration
was discontinued but was reinstated
when the College of Business was
established (first as a division) in 1943.
The College of Liberal Arts was established (as the School of Humanities and
Social Sciences) in 1959, and the College
of Oceanography was created (as a
school) in 1972 (now the College of
Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences). The
College of Health and Physical Education (now the College of Health and
Human Sciences) was reinstated (as a
school) in 1974, and the College of
Veterinary Medicine was established (as
a school) the following year. In 1983, all
schools of the university, except the
School of Education, were redesignated
as colleges. In 1989, the School of
Education became a college. In 1991, the
College of Education merged with the
College of Home Economics, and within
the College of Home Economics and
Education, being renamed the School of
Education in the merger process. In 1995
the University Honors College was
established. In 2002, the College of
Health and Human Performance and the
College of Home Economics and
Education were merged into the College
of Health and Human Sciences. As part
of this restructuring, the new School of
Education became an independent
academic unit.
Presidents of the institution since its
founding are (1) William A. Finley,
1865–72; Joseph Emery, 1872 (acting);
(2) Benjamin L. Arnold, 1872–92; John
D. Letcher, 1892 (acting); (3) John M.

ORGANIZATION
OF THE UNIVERSITY
The president is the chief executive
officer of the university. He is appointed
by the Oregon State Board of Higher
Education, and is responsible for the
overall leadership and direction of the
university. The provost and executive
vice president is the chief academic and
operating officer and is responsible for
the daily operations of the university.
The academic programs of Oregon
State University are divided among 11
colleges and two schools, School of
Education and the Graduate School,
each with a dean responsible for all
faculty, staff, students, and academic
programs. The 11 colleges are the
College of Agricultural Sciences, College
of Business, College of Engineering,
College of Forestry, College of Health
and Human Sciences, College of Liberal
Arts, College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, College of Pharmacy,
College of Science, the College of
Veterinary Medicine, and the University
Honors College.
Colleges are divided into departments
administered by a department head or
chair. Each department may offer several
programs of study leading to degrees,
certificates, options, or minors
requiring a specific group of courses for
completion.
Some courses and programs described
in the General Catalog are offered
throughout the year (at a variety of sites)
by the Oregon State University Office of
OSU Extended Campus. A list of courses
currently offered at a distance is
available on the Web at http://

CATALOG DEFINITIONS
The following terms are used throughout the catalog or by advisers.
Academic year–The time period
containing the academic terms fall,
winter, and spring (currently September
15 through June 15).
Adviser–A faculty member appointed by
the department or college to advise
students during their college experience.
BA degree–The Bachelor of Arts degree
is conferred for broad and liberal
education in humanities, arts, social
sciences, and sciences. College BA
requirements provide: a) a breadth of
preparation in these fields that is
significantly greater than that required
of all undergraduates through the
baccalaureate core; and b) foreign
language proficiency certified by the
Department of Foreign Languages and
Literatures as equivalent to that attained
at the end of the second year course in
the language.
BS degree–The Bachelor of Science
degree is conferred for focused curricula
that emphasize scientific ways of
knowing and quantitative approaches to
understanding in the sciences and social
sciences, and for curricula in professional fields.
Baccalaureate Core–The university’s
general education requirements. See
Earning a Degree at Oregon State
University in this catalog.
Blanket-numbered courses–Reserved
number courses such as 401/501/601.
See Reserved numbered courses.
Certificate program (undergraduate)–
A specified interdisciplinary program of
study leading to an official certificate
and notation on the transcript. A
certificate program draws from more
than one department, rather than a
single department (as with most
minors). The certificate program must be
taken in conjunction with a formal
degree program. An undergraduate
certificate requires a minimum of
27 credits.
Certificate program (post-baccalaureate)–A specified program of study of
undergraduate courses leading to an
official certificate and notation on the
transcript. A completed baccalaureate
degree program is required. A postbaccalaureate certificate program
requires a minimum of 27 credits.
Certificate program (graduate)–A
structured progression of graduate-level
courses that constitute a coherent body
of study with a specific defined focus
within a single discipline or a logical
combination of disciplines. It is designed
for students who have completed a
baccalaureate degree and are in pursuit
of advanced-level learning. A graduate
certificate requires a minimum of 18
graduate credits.
Certificate program (professional)–
Site-based training and professional
development certificate that is not
transcript visible.
Course–An organized unit of instruction
or research. Types include lectures,
recitations, laboratories, discussions,
internships, clerkships, reading and
conference, independent study, and
other categories of courses.
Credit–Credits vary, depending upon
the type of course and level at which it
is offered. One credit is generally given
for three hours per week of work in and
out of class. For example, each hour of
class lecture is generally expected to
require two hours of work out of class.
One credit hour would be given for a
lecture course that met for one 50minute period each week over a 10-week
period; i.e., 10 contact hours between
faculty and students. One credit is
typically given for a laboratory course
that meets for two to three hours per
week for an entire term. Equivalent
credits are given for recitations, discussions, and other types of courses. All
credits given in the General Catalog refer
to quarter credits.
Curriculum–(plural curricula) An
organized program of study and courses
required for a specific degree or certificate program.
Degree–An academic award granted
upon satisfactory completion of a set of
collegiate-level educational requirements.

program requiring at least four but not
more than five years of full-time
equivalent college-level academic work
that included the following: (1) institutional general education requirements
(i.e., baccalaureate core); (2) major area
of study requirements; and (3) may
include minor, supporting area, or
elective requirements. A minimum of
180 credits is required for most degree
programs. [Note: Some majors may
require more than 180 credits.] The
conditions and conferral of the award
are governed by the faculty and ratified
by the Oregon State Board of Higher
Education.
Doctoral degree–An approved academic
award given as a sign of proficiency in
scholarship and for the satisfactory
completion of an instructional program
requiring at least three years of full-time
equivalent academic work beyond the
baccalaureate degree, the completion of
which signifies recognized competence,
original research and/or the capacity to
do independent advanced graduate-level
analysis. A minimum of 108 credits is
required beyond the baccalaureate
degree. [Note: The total number, above
the minimum, will vary by degree
program.] The conditions and conferral
of the award are governed by the faculty
and ratified by the Oregon State Board of
Higher Education.
First professional degree–An academic
award granted for an instructional
program the completion of which: (1)
signifies completion of the academic
requirements to begin practice in the
profession; (2) requires at least two years
of full-time equivalent college level work
prior to entrance; and (3) usually
requires a total of at least five years of
full-time equivalent academic work to
complete the degree program, including
prior required college-level work plus
the length of the professional program
itself (examples, DVM in veterinary
medicine and PharmD in pharmacy).
The conditions and conferral of the
award are governed by the faculty and
ratified by the Oregon State Board of

consist of at least 21 designated credits
of course work, 15 of which must be at
the upper-division level. If all requirements have been met, the option may be
listed on a student’s transcript.
Perspectives courses–Baccalaureate Core
courses that integrate fundamental
knowledge from science and liberal arts
disciplines to develop cultural, historic,
and scientific perspectives.
Reading and conference–A course
focused on reading assignments to be
completed in conferences with the
instructor.
Reserved numbered courses–Certain
blocks of numbers that have been
assigned for specific courses that may be
taken for more than one term. The
credits being granted vary according to
the amount of work done.
100–110 and 200–210: Survey or
foundation courses in the liberal arts
and sciences
401/501/601/701: Research and
Scholarship

an 8- or 11-week session during the
summer.
Upper-division courses–Course
offerings at a level of preparation usually
associated with junior or senior students
(e.g., 300- and 400-level courses).
Waive–This term refers to decisions of
advisers to “waive” a course or courses in
a student’s program. Typical reasons
include transfer credit for equivalent
courses, equivalent experience in the
profession or discipline, and petitioning
for and successfully completing an
examination. Waiving courses usually
does not decrease the total credits
required for completion of the degree or
program; students should discuss this
with their adviser.
Writing Intensive Courses (WIC)–
Designated upper-division courses in the
major discipline that use student writing
as a significant approach to learning.
WIC courses must meet a variety of
requirements, as do other courses in the
baccalaureate core.
READING A
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The elements of a typical course
description found under department
headings in the colleges that follow are
illustrated by the political science course
below:
PS 422H/PS 522. INTERNATIONAL
LAW (3). Theories and historical
development of international law,
problems in development of classic
cases. PREREQ: PS 101, PS 202, or PS 205
or PS 206. CROSSLISTED as ANTH 422/
ANTH 522. (NC)
Designator: (PS) an abbreviation
representing the department, college, or
program offering the course. PS indicates
that the course is offered through the
Department of Political Science.
Number: (422) indicates the level of
the course. This is an upper-division,
undergraduate course. 400-level courses
(PS 422) are offered for undergraduate
credit, while the 500-level course (PS
522) is offered at the graduate level. (See
Course Numbering System.)
Letter suffix: (PS 422H) When a
letter follows the course number, the
letter indicates that there is something
special about the course that students
should know. For instance, PS 422H
would be an honors course, or PS 422X
would be an experimental course.
11
Title: INTERNATIONAL LAW
Credit: (3) the number of credits
awarded for successful completion of the
course.
Graduate credit: All courses numbered at the 500- or 600-level may be
taken for graduate credit. Courses
numbered 500- -599 are generally taken
by masters candidates and courses
numbered 600- -699 are taken by
doctoral candidates.
Course description: Theories and
historical development international
law, problems in development of
classic cases. A brief description of what
will be taught in the course.
PREREQ: PS 101, PS 102, or PS 205
or PS 206 The background necessary for
successful performance in a course.
Students may attempt a course without
having prerequisites if they have
obtained the consent of the instructor to
do so. If consent is not obtained, then
students who have not fulfilled published prerequisites may be disenrolled
from the course during the first week of
classes. Occasionally a course will have a
COREQ, usually indicating a course to
be taken simultaneously with the course
described. REQ: a requirement for that
course.
CROSSLISTED: CROSSLISTED as
ANTH 422/ANTH 522 means the same
course is also offered through another
department; course numbers, titles,
descriptions, and prerequisites are the
same for both courses.
DUAL LISTING: PS 422/PS 522, or
“slash” course means the course is
offered at both the upper division and
graduate level. Students wanting
undergraduate credit take the course at
the 4xx number, and students wanting
graduate credit take the course at the
5xx number. Students taking the course
for graduate credit will be assigned extra
work and/or have their work graded
against a higher standard.
REC: Means the course is recommended but not required by the
instructor.
(NC): Area study requirement for
students majoring in the College of
Liberal Arts. Four abbreviations are used
in the college to indicate courses that
may be used to fulfill requirements in
each of the areas:
(FA) Fine Arts
(H) Humanities
(NC) Non-Western Culture
(SS) Social Studies
COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Throughout the Oregon University
System (OUS), courses follow this basic

THE ADMISSION PROCESS
Submit your application along with the
$50.00 nonrefundable application fee to
the Office of Admissions, or you can
apply online at http://oregonstate.edu/
admissions/. If applying online, you are
required to use a valid Visa, MasterCard,
or Discover credit card to pay the $50
nonrefundable application fee. Also,
request your high school to send your
official high school transcript to OSU, and
have your official SAT or ACT test scores
sent to OSU.
Telefax (FAX) credentials are considered
official if faxed directly from the high
school with a cover page. Our FAX
number is (541) 737-2482.
Portfolios, video tapes, essays and
personal interviews are not required of
applicants.
EVALUATION PROCESS
Admission to Oregon State University is
selective and competitive.
Complete applications are first
reviewed to confirm successful completion of the 14 high school subject
requirements listed on the following page
and GPA earned. For those who meet GPA
and subject requirements, there is no
minimum SAT I or ACT score requirement. However, scores from one of these
tests are required for advising purposes.
Applicants for undergraduate admission
are required to complete an “Insight
Résumé,” a written assessment designed
to evaluate students’ noncognitive
attributes. These attributes include selfconcept, realistic self-appraisal, handling
the system, ability to set long-range goals,
leadership, connections with a strong
support person, community engagement,
and nontraditional learning.
Applicants are notified of their
admission status on a rolling basis.
SELECTION OF
FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS
OSU’s admission requirements promote
student success by assessing preparedness
and academic potential in the unique
context of each student’s personal
experience. Admission assessment will
consider all achievement, both academic
and non-academic, to enroll students
with a broad range of characteristics and
perspectives. These include, but are not
limited to: academic achievement,
creativity, initiative, motivation, leadership, persistence, service to others,
intellectual curiosity, exceptional
personal or academic recognition,
unusual talent or ability, substantial
experience with other cultures, and
ability to overcome significant challenges.
The admissions process will perform a
fair and comprehensive review of all
applicants to determine potential success
at OSU. It is crucial that applicants
carefully complete the application process
by providing thorough information.
Estimating the likelihood of admission is
very difficult without considering the
complete application file.
REGULAR ADMISSION
Initial admission selections are based on a
holistic assessment of the criteria listed
below. Minimum requirements for
admission include a high school grade
point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) and

Additional details are available in the
OSU Credit Opportunities brochure.
For information on OSU’s acceptance
of professional-technical courses, please
see Academic Regulation 2, paragraph b
below.
ACCEPTANCE OF CREDIT FROM
A TWO-YEAR INSTITUTION
(OSU Academic Regulation 2):
Academic Regulation 2. Credit From A
Two-Year Institution (Undergraduate
Students)
a. College Transfer Credits: Oregon
State University accepts for credit
toward a baccalaureate degree all
college transfer work completed at
an Oregon or other accredited
community college up to 124 lowerdivision credits. Transfer credits and
grades are not used in calculating
the OSU cumulative GPA. Students
who hold OSU-approved direct
transfer degrees from Oregon or
other accredited community
colleges (e.g., the Associates of Arts
Oregon Transfer degree) or who
have 90 or more quarter credits
accepted in transfer will be granted
junior standing.* Students who hold
OSU-approved direct transfer
degrees will be considered to have
met the Perspectives and Skills
(except WIC) areas of the baccalaureate core; see AR 25. In addition,
they must complete the upperdivision Synthesis and WIC areas of
the core. Students transferring from
Oregon or other accredited community colleges who do not hold
approved direct transfer degrees will
be given baccalaureate core credit in
the Perspectives and Skills areas on a
course-by-course basis for work that
is judged to be equivalent in
content. They must complete upperdivision Synthesis courses.
*Such standing does not necessarily
imply that OSU institutional, college or
division, and departmental requirements, normally satisfied by OSU
students prior to their junior year, have
been satisfied.
b. Transfer of Professional-Technical
Course Credits: A maximum of
124 quarter credits (83 semester
credits) may be transferred from an
accredited two-year or community
college to OSU. A maximum of
12 quarter credits (8 semester
credits) of professional-technical
course work applicable in an
associates degree or certificate
program at an accredited institution
can be accepted upon admission to
OSU as general elective credit
(graded as Pass) and as part of the
124 quarter credit total.
c. Transfer of Equivalent Professional-Technical Course Credits:
Lower-division credit for specific
professional-technical community
college courses may be awarded for
equivalent OSU course work when
equivalency is validated by the OSU
department offering the equivalent
course work. This may be above the
12 quarter credits of general
electives (graded as Pass) allowed
when a student is admitted to OSU.
Community college course work is
not equivalent to upper-division
OSU course work. Equivalent credit
will be awarded only upon the
recommendation of the appropriate
department and college, and
approval by the Academic Requirements Committee. If the professional-technical community college
course and the equivalent OSU
course vary in credits, the number
of course credits that may be
granted will be the lesser of the two.
These course credits will count as
part of the 124 credits defined in
paragraph 2.a. above.
NON-DEGREE STATUS
Non-degree enrollment status is
designed for students who want to take
courses but do not want to pursue a
degree or a specific post-baccalaureate
credential. In some instances non-degree
students may not meet regular admis-
Admission to Oregon State University
sion requirements. Non-degree students
are part-time students who are expected
to enroll in no more than 8 credits a
term. Students who want to enroll for
more than 8 credits a term must apply
for regular admission.
Non-degree enrollment status requires
no formal admission process and has no
requirements for entrance. A $25.00
admission application fee is charged.
Non-degree status requests should be
made to the Office of Admissions.
Approval is granted for a specific term.
Students who are unable to attend the
specific term and want to enroll later
should contact the Office of Admissions.
Non-degree students are given grades
and academic records, and are reviewed
according to university standards of
good academic progress.
Non-degree students who wish to seek
full admission and pursue a degree may
do so by submitting an undergraduate,
post-baccalaureate or graduate application for admission. In either case, the
admission application fee is required.
Successful enrollment as a non-degree
student does not guarantee regular
admission. Credits earned while enrolled
under non-degree undergraduate status
will be applied to a student’s record, if
applicable to a degree, upon formal
admission.
Non-degree graduate students that
decide to seek admission to a specific
degree program during the course of
their studies should note that any credits
taken as a non-degree student may or
may not be applicable for that degree,
depending upon a variety of factors,
their chosen program and the policies of
the Graduate School. Graduate students
are further advised that at least 30
graduate credits must be completed after
full admission as a degree-seeking
graduate student, regardless of the
number of credits previously earned
while in non-degree status. Close
communication with the Graduate
School is encouraged.
Non-degree students follow the
registration procedures and policies as
outlined in the Schedule of Classes. The
Schedule of Classes is available through
the Web at http://catalog.
oregonstate.edu/Default.aspx?
section=Course#course. Registering
students are expected to obtain a
student identification card through the
ID Center in the Memorial Union.
Tuition and fees for non-degree
students enrolled in less than 9 credits
are assessed at resident rates based on
undergraduate- or graduate-course level.
Payment of the health service fee is
optional. Enrollment in excess of 8
credits requires that tuition and fees be
assessed at the same rates as regular
students and full admission as a regular
student.
ACADEMIC REGULATION 1.
ADMISSION FOR NON-DEGREE
STUDENTS
a. Non-degree enrollment status for
undergraduate students is designed
for students who wish to take 8 or
fewer credits per term, but do not
wish to pursue a degree or a specific
post-baccalaureate credential.
b. Non-degree enrollment status for
graduate students is designed for
students who wish to take graduate
courses, but do not wish to pursue
an advanced degree. Non-degree
graduate students are not limited as
to the number of courses (credits)
per term.
c. Credits earned as a non-degree
undergraduate student may be used
to satisfy degree requirements upon
admission as a degree-seeking
student.
d. Credits earned while enrolled as a
non-degree graduate student will
not necessarily apply to a graduate
program upon admission to degreeseeking status. Communication
with the Graduate School and
specific academic programs is
advised.
e. Non-degree students seeking
admission to a degree program may
do so by submitting an undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, or graduate
application for admission.
INTERNATIONAL
UNDERGRADUATES AS
NON-DEGREE STUDENTS
International students must apply for
non-degree status through the Office of
Admissions. The non-degree international undergraduate student category is
designed to aid the enrollment of a
student who at the time of application is
not planning to complete degree
requirements at OSU, but is qualified for
regular admission. Based on their visa
status, students may be required to
maintain a full-time course load of 12
quarter credits or more while attending
OSU (which may include English
Language Institute courses). Please see
Admission of International Students for
further information on admission
requirements.
SELECT A MAJOR
Undergraduates and post-baccalaureate
applicants are asked to select a college
and a major within that college. The
University Exploratory Studies Program
is a choice available to undergraduates
who are undecided about a major.
Students may change their major in
consultation with an academic adviser.
17
ADMISSION OF POSTBACCALAUREATE STUDENTS
OSU Baccalaureate Students
Students whose baccalaureate degrees
were from OSU may enroll in the
“Alumni College” by reactivating their
records for additional degrees, credentials, majors, options, minors and
certificates by contacting the Registrar’s
Office. Statuses are reactivated to the
academic programs under which
students were last enrolled. Students will
then need to seek permission for the
new credentials by using the Declaration
of Subsequent Credentials Form.
If the student is seeking a credential
only, the course work will be reflected
on the non-degree academic level. After
the student has completed his or her
credential, the course work will be
moved to the undergraduate academic
level.
If the student is seeking a degree, the
course work will be reflected on the
post-baccalaureate academic level.
Non-OSU Baccalaureate Students
Students who want to earn a subsequent
degree, minor, or certificate but whose
baccalaureate degrees were not from
OSU may apply for post-baccalaureate
admission through the Office of
Admissions. Applicants for consideration
must meet the same application
deadline and GPA requirements as
transfers. The GPA is computed on the
first baccalaureate degree plus any
subsequent credit earned. Applicants
must include a statement of objectives of
150 to 200 words with their application.
A $50.00 application fee will be charged.
Academic departments may impose
additional requirements.
The course work of admitted students
will be reflected on the post-baccalaureate academic level.
ADMISSION WITH GRADUATE
STANDING
To be considered for admission to the
Graduate School, an applicant must
have a baccalaureate degree from an
accredited college or university, as well
as a scholastic record, background, or
other evidence that indicates the ability
to do satisfactory graduate work. See the
Graduate School for further information
on advanced degree, and non-degree
graduate student status. Also see
Graduate Admission Procedures in this
catalog.
ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL
STUDENTS
An international student is admitted
according to standards established for
each country. OSU admission standards
are the equivalent of the standards for
U.S. students. International applicants
must provide certified English transla-
18
Oregon State University
tions for all credentials not originally
issued in English, be qualified to enter a
university or graduate school in their
own country, and have achieved a
superior scholastic record. When
applying, provide complete documentation of all certificates, diplomas, degrees
or titles earned, as well as grades or mark
sheets from your academic institution.
Applicants must present proof of English
language proficiency by submitting a
minimum score of 550 on the paperbased (213 on the computer-based) Test
of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL). For alternatives to the TOEFL
test, please contact the Office of
Admissions for a complete listing or visit
our Web site at http://oregonstate.edu.
Conditional admission may be
granted to undergraduate students with
TOEFL scores from 450 to 549 (paperbased) or 133 to 212 (computer-based),
or to graduate students with scores from
500 to 549 (paper-based) or 173 to 212
(computer-based). Such conditional
admission requires (a) on-campus testing
of English language proficiency prior to
enrollment and, (b) compliance with a
specified plan for English and academic
course work during each quarter until
such time as the student qualifies for
nonconditional admission. Appeals from
the specified plan are made to the head
adviser at the undergraduate level and to
the Graduate School at the graduate level.
Exceptions to the English proficiency test requirement are:
a. applicants from English-speaking
countries such as Canada, United
Kingdom, etc.,
b. graduate applicants who have
finished a previous college degree in
an English-speaking country,
c. those who have completed English
course work or taken other tests
deemed to be equivalent to the
required minimum score on the
TOEFL.
A student with less than a four-year
bachelor’s degree, or with a diploma,
certificate, or title not accepted by OSU
as equivalent to a bachelor’s degree, may
apply for undergraduate admission but
may not enter the Graduate School.
All records in a foreign language must
include the originals accompanied by a
certified English translation. A complete
description of all schooling from
primary or elementary school to present
level of training is needed to permit
better understanding of academic
preparation. A GPA of 2.25 (undergraduate) and grades of “A” or “B” (graduate)
are necessary on work accepted in
transfer from an American college or
university.
ADMISSION TO
SUMMER SESSION
Students who wish to begin work on a
degree during summer session at OSU
must satisfy regular admission requirements and apply by the specified
deadlines.
ADMISSION TO
PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS
Professional programs are accredited
according to requirements set by
professional societies. These programs
often have more rigorous requirements
for admission, continuation in the
program, and acceptance of transfer
credit. Therefore, admission to OSU is
separate from admission to a professional program, and does not guarantee
such admission.
OSU-CASCADES CAMPUS
The OSU-Cascades campus, located in
Bend, Oregon, is a unique partnership
between Oregon State University, the
Central Oregon community, Central
Oregon Community College (COCC),
and six partner institutions. The OSUCascades campus offers a range of

THE BACCALAUREATE
EXPERIENCE
Oregon State University is a land grant,
sea grant, and space grant university
with a mission that includes a strong
commitment to undergraduate education. Central to this commitment is the
establishment of an intellectual environment that encourages the formation of
the essential characteristics of the
educated person—curiosity, rigorous
observation, critical thinking, tolerant
understanding, and a commitment to
lifelong learning. The diverse academic
programs in each of the distinctive
colleges are unified by common
expectations for the achievement of the
baccalaureate degree.
Graduates with a baccalaureate degree
from Oregon State University should be
able not only to appreciate the intrinsic
value of human knowledge, but also to
use it to engage in both scientific and
philosophical inquiry. Critical thinking
and problem solving, integrating
knowledge from a wide range of fields,
are essential components of the degree.
Oregon State University graduates
should also possess intellectual curiosity,
understanding of diverse cultural
heritages, and a proper regard for
different values, ideas, and cultures.
The baccalaureate degree includes:
a) the baccalaureate core
b) an in-depth study in at least one
major; and
c) individual elective courses.
Minors are available in many areas and
are required in certain programs.
Students should check departmental
requirements.
THE BACCALAUREATE CORE
The baccalaureate core emphasizes
writing, critical thinking, cultural
diversity, the arts, sciences, literature,
lifelong fitness, and global awareness.
Included are 48 credits plus a writing
at Oregon State University
intensive course of at least 3 credits in
the major. The course categories are
listed below.
Individual courses are listed later in
this section.
Baccalaureate Core Requirements
Skills (15)
No single course may be used by a student
to satisfy more than one area of the core
even though some courses are approved for
more than one area.
UPPER-DIVISION COURSES
A minimum of 60 credits of the total
number (must be in courses numbered

MAJOR PROGRAM
In-depth study in at least one area is
required in each baccalaureate degree.
Major requirements often include not
only courses within the given discipline
but also necessary prerequisites and
work in related areas.
Students must satisfy all the requirements of their major department and
major college. The dean’s certification of
fulfillment of all requirements of the
major college is required.
TOTAL CREDITS
A baccalaureate degree program with
one or more majors must be at least 180
total credits. Several baccalaureate
degree programs require more credits.
Departments should be contacted for the
most current information.
ACADEMIC STANDING
Oregon State University expects students
to maintain satisfactory academic
progress toward degree completion. At
the conclusion of each term, grade point
averages are calculated and academic
standings determined for students
seeking a baccalaureate degree according
to the criteria outlined below.
a. Academic Warning: Students with
a term GPA below 2.00 will be
placed on academic warning.
b. Academic Probation: Students who
have completed two or more terms
at OSU and have an OSU cumulative GPA below 2.00 will be placed
on Academic Probation. Students
who attain a cumulative GPA of
2.00 or better are removed from
academic probation.
c. Academic Suspension: Students
who are on academic probation and
have a subsequent term GPA below
2.00 will be placed on academic
suspension. Students who are
academically suspended are denied
all the privileges of the institution
and of all organizations in any way
connected to it, including any
university-recognized living group.
d. Reinstatement to the University:
Suspended students will be considered for reinstatement to the
university after two years or
completion of a minimum of 24
quarter credits of transferable
college-level work at an accredited
college or university, with a GPA of
2.50 or above.
ACADEMIC RESIDENCE
REQUIREMENT
Candidates for undergraduate degrees
must earn their last 45 credits in course
work offered by OSU or 45 of the last
75 credits if authorized by the student’s
dean.
A minimum of 15 credits of upperdivision credits must be taken in the
student’s major from courses regularly
listed in the OSU General Catalog or
Schedule of Classes.
Earning a Degree at Oregon State University
Credits earned through certain
designated programs such as a foreign
study program sponsored by the Oregon
University System or an OSU off-campus
degree program (approved by OUS) may
be used in fulfilling the academic
residence requirement. Credits earned by
special examination may not be used to
meet the residence requirement. A
student must be enrolled at OSU in
regular standing, not as a “special
admit,” before undertaking academic
work to satisfy academic residence. For
more information, students should
consult their advisers.
RE-ENROLLING STUDENTS
Re-enrolling students are reminded that
graduation requirements may have
changed. Students are responsible for
consulting their college for changes in
their curriculum. If a program has been
discontinued, students cannot expect to
continue pursuit of that program. Reenrolling students are also reminded
that individual retention and reenrollment standards of specific colleges
may be in effect.
APPROVED
BACCALAUREATE CORE
COURSES
The Oregon State University Baccalaureate Core is continually enriched. It
emphasizes creative thinking, writing,
world cultures, appreciation of differences, the arts, sciences, literature,
lifelong fitness, and global awareness in
15 course categories. Over 250 courses
are available to meet core requirements.
Students must complete a total of 48
credits plus a Writing Intensive Course
(WIC) of at least 3 credits.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Oregon community college students
entering OSU fall term 1990 or thereafter, having completed the new Associate
of Arts (AA) degree (meeting the OUSOregon Community College block
transfer agreement) will automatically
have satisfied all the lower-division
requirements of the baccalaureate core.
TRANSFER CREDITS
Decisions on transfer courses meeting
specific baccalaureate core or 1988–90
general education requirements will be
made by the Office of Admissions with
the Faculty Senate and the Office of
Academic Programs. Some requirements
may be met by advanced placement. For
more information, contact the Office of
Admissions. Articulation tables for
baccalaureate core courses can be found
on the Web at http://oregonstate.edu/
admissions/transfer/
transferCredits.html.
DIFFERENCE, POWER,
AND DISCRIMINATION
After several years of careful study and
curriculum development, a new
perspectives area titled “Difference,
Power, and Discrimination” was added
to the baccalaureate core. A course in
this area is required for all freshmen
entering fall 1994 or thereafter and all
transfer students entering fall 1996 or
thereafter.

OTHER GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS
BA Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Arts degree is conferred
for broad and liberal education in
humanities, arts, social science, and
sciences. Requirements for the BA degree
differ significantly from those for a
Bachelor of Science degree (BS) in the
same department. Many departments offer
only one or the other of the two baccalaureate degrees. Check departmental
curricula for detailed information. The BA
degree requires foreign language proficiency equivalent to that attained at the
end of the second year course in the
language as certified by the Department of
Foreign Languages and Literatures.
Concurrent Baccalaureate Degrees
Students may concurrently earn two or
more bachelor’s degrees; for example, a
BA or BS with the same or different
major.
Students must:
a. Meet the institutional, college, and
departmental requirements of the
curricula represented by the degrees;
b. Complete for each additional degree
a minimum of 32 credits more than
the requirements of the curriculum
requiring the least number of credits;
c. Complete each additional 32 credits
in residence.
Subsequent Baccalaureate Degrees
A student who has previously earned a
bachelor’s degree from OSU may receive
a second such degree if all requirements
are met. The minimum of 32 credits may
be completed at any time.
Students with a baccalaureate
degree(s) from an accredited institution
other than Oregon State University may
be granted a baccalaureate degree from
OSU upon satisfying the college and
departmental requirements of the
curriculum represented by the degree.
Such a student also may obtain concurrent degrees from Oregon State University by satisfying the requirements for
concurrent degrees.
A student seeking a concurrent or
subsequent baccalaureate degree(s) also
must satisfy the university’s residence
requirements.
Subsequent Credentials: Minors,
Certificates, Options, and Majors
A student who has received a previous
bachelor’s degree from either OSU or
another accredited university or college
may be granted a subsequent minor or
certificate by completing current
requirements for a minor or certificate,
receiving the dean’s approval, achieving
a minimum 2.00 OSU cumulative grade
point average on work taken for the
subsequent credential, and taking a
minimum of 15 credits of OSU course
work applied to the subsequent credential. A student who has received a
previous bachelor’s degree from OSU
may be granted a subsequent option or
major by completing current requirements for the option or major, receiving
the dean’s approval, achieving a
minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point
average on work taken for the subsequent credential, and taking a minimum
of 15 credits of OSU course work applied
to the subsequent credential.
Requirements for Certificates
See individual certificate programs
described in this catalog.
Requirements for Advanced
Degrees
For advanced degree requirements see
the Graduate School section of this
catalog or contact the Graduate School.
Students who take courses they wish to
apply toward an advanced degree before
they have received baccalaureate degrees
may have a limited number of credits
reserved by petition. Also see Reserving
Credits in the Graduate School section.
A graduate student also may obtain
baccalaureate degrees from Oregon State
University by satisfying the requirements for subsequent degrees.
APPLYING FOR GRADUATION
Students should consult with their
adviser to check progress toward
graduation requirements. Progress will
be based on the formally declared major,
options, minors, degree, and other
applicable requirements. Applications
should be obtained and filed in the
Office of the Registrar two terms before
expected graduation so progress can be
monitored each term.
Once the application has been filed,
the Office of the Registrar will audit and
return two copies to the college each
term–one for the adviser and one for the
student. Students who wish to have
minors or options shown on their
transcript must indicate the minors or
options they intend to complete when
filing the application to graduate.
It is important that the student
submit the application before the final
quarter so he or she has time to complete any deficiencies prior to the last
quarter. Students who wish to change
graduation dates after the first application must file the change in the Office of
the Registrar before the final quarter.
Degrees are granted at the end of any
quarter, and students are encouraged to
attend the June commencement
exercises.
DEGREES WITH DISTINCTION
Grade point averages are computed on
the basis of all work attempted at OSU.
Graduates who have been in attendance
at OSU for at least two years are awarded
degrees with distinction as follows:
Summa cum laude—3.85–4.00 GPA
Magna cum laude—3.70–3.84 GPA
Cum laude—3.50–3.69 GPA
These distinctions are noted on diplomas.

Student Exchanges (580-010-085)
a. Under the WICHE student exchange
program, certification of students as
Oregon residents for purposes of
attending institutions not under
board control or in other states shall
be guided by rules set forth in
Division 10. In order to be considered for WICHE certification, the
student’s completed application
must be received by the certifying
officer on or before October 15 of
the year preceding admission. An
application received after that date
in an envelope postmarked not later
than October 15 will be deemed to
have been received on the 15th.
Residency shall be determined as of
the date of the application for
WICHE certification, not as of the
date of expected admission or
registration to an institution.
b. Persons applying for WICHE
certification must be certified as
Oregon residents and placed in
ranked preference order within each
program. Ranked preference order is
determined by a score based on the
grade point average of all college
work plus .25 times the number of
years of residence in Oregon up to a
maximum of ten years.
c. The department and separate
institutions may enter into agreements with individual institutions
in other states or other countries
whereby resident students specified
by name in the Oregon institutions
may transfer to the other institution, and an equal number of
students specified by name from the
other institution may transfer to the
Oregon institution with a reciprocal
waiving of additional fees ordinarily
assessed to nonresident students in
both institutions.
DETERMINING RESIDENCY
FOR FEE PURPOSES
In determining a student’s residency, the
OSU Office of Admissions follows the
administrative rules of the State Board of
Higher Education on residence classification, excerpted below.
RESIDENCE CLASSIFICATION
POLICY: PROCEDURES
Definitions (580-010-0029)
For the purpose of OAR 580-010-0030
through 580-010-0045, the following
words and phrases mean:
1. “Domicile” is a person’s true, fixed,
and permanent home and place of
habitation. It is the place where a
person intends to remain and to
which the person expects to return
when the person leaves without
intending to establish a new
domicile elsewhere. In order to
establish a domicile in Oregon, a
person must maintain a predominant physical presence in Oregon
for 12 consecutive months after
moving to the state.
2. A “financially independent person”
is a person who, at the time of
application for residency status:
a. declares himself or herself to be
financially independent;
b. has not been claimed as a
dependent during the immediately preceding tax year, and will
not be claimed as a dependent
during the current tax year, on
the federal or state income tax
returns of any other person; and
c. has not received in the immediately preceding calendar year, and
will not receive during the current
calendar year, one-half or more of
his or her support, in cash or in
kind, from another person or
persons, except for support
received from his or her spouse.
3. A “financially dependent person” is
a person who, at the time of
application for residency status:
a. declares himself or herself to be
financially dependent; and
b. has been claimed as a dependent
on the federal and state income
tax returns of another person
during the immediately preceding
tax year.
Determination of Residence
(580-010-0030)
1. For purposes of admission and
instruction fee assessment, OUS
institutions shall classify a student
as Oregon resident or nonresident.
In determining resident or nonresident classification, the primary issue
is a person’s intent in coming to
Fees and Residency Requirements
Oregon. Intent is inferred from a
person’s conduct and history as they
relate to the requirements of these
residency rules. If a person is in
Oregon primarily for the purpose of
obtaining an education, that person
will be considered a nonresident. It
is possible for an individual to
qualify as a resident of Oregon for
purposes of voting or obtaining an
Oregon driver’s license and not
meet the residency requirements
established by these rules.
2. An Oregon resident is a financially
independent person who, prior to
the term for which Oregon resident
classification is requested, has both:
a. established and maintained a
domicile in Oregon as provided
under OAR 580-010-0029(1) for
12 consecutive months; and
b. during that period, has been
primarily engaged in activities other
than those of being a college
student.
3. A student may be considered
primarily engaged in educational
activities regardless of the number
of hours for which the student is
enrolled. However, a student who is
enrolled for more than 8 hours in
any semester or quarter during the
12-month period referred to in
section (2) of this rule shall be
presumed to be in Oregon for
primarily educational purposes.
Such period of enrollment shall not
be counted toward the establishment of a bona fide domicile of 12
consecutive months in this state
unless the student proves, in fact,
establishment of a bona fide
domicile in this state primarily for
purposes other than educational.
4. An Oregon resident is also a
financially dependent person who is
claimed as a dependent by another
person who has both:
a. established and maintained an
Oregon domicile as provided
under OAR 580-010-0029(1) for
12 consecutive months; and
b. during that period, has been
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of being a
college student.
5. A financially dependent person who
is claimed as a dependent by
another person who has not
established and maintained an
Oregon domicile shall be presumed
to be a non-resident. This presumption may be overcome by evidence
of the student’s long-standing
presence in Oregon and demonstration of other factors under OAR
580-010-0031.
6. The criteria for determining Oregon
resident classification shall also be
used to determine whether a person
who has moved from Oregon has
established a non-Oregon residence.
7. If institution records show that the
residence of a student or the person
upon whom the student is dependent is outside of Oregon, the
student shall continue to be
classified as a nonresident until
entitlement to resident classification
is shown. The burden of showing
that the residence classification
should be changed is on the student
requesting the change.
8. Notwithstanding section (4) of this
rule, a student who is financially
dependent on a non-Oregon
resident may nonetheless be
considered an Oregon resident if the
student resides in Oregon for at
least 12 consecutive months with a
parent or legal guardian who has
both:
a. established and maintained an
Oregon domicile under OAR 580010-0029(1) for 12 consecutive
months; and
b. during that period, has been
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of being a
college student.
Residency Consideration Factors
(580-010-0031)
1. The following factors, although not
necessarily conclusive or exclusive,
have probative value in support of a
claim for Oregon resident classification:
a. Reside in Oregon for 12 consecutive months prior to the beginning of the term for which
resident classification is sought
and during that period be
primarily engaged in activities
other than those of a college
student;
b. Reliance upon Oregon resources
for financial support;
c. Domicile in Oregon of persons
legally responsible for the
student;
d. Acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Oregon; and
e. Ownership by the person of his or
her living quarters in Oregon.
2. The following factors, standing
alone, do not constitute sufficient
evidence to effect classification as
an Oregon resident:
a. Voting or registration to vote;
b. Employment in any position
normally filled by a student;
c. The lease of living quarters;
d. Admission to a licensed practicing profession in Oregon;
33
e. Automobile registration;
f. Public records, for example, birth
and marriage records, Oregon
driver’s license;
g. Continuous presence in Oregon
during periods when not enrolled
in school;
h. Ownership of property in Oregon
or the payment of Oregon income
or other Oregon taxes; or
i. Domicile in Oregon of the
student’s spouse.
3. Reliance upon non-Oregon resources for financial support is an
inference of residency in another
state.
Evidence of Financial Dependency
(580-010-0033)
1. In determining whether a student is
financially dependent, a student
must provide:
a. Evidence of established domicile
as provided under OAR 580-0100029(1) of the person claiming
the student as a dependent; and
b. The identification of the student
as a dependent on the federal and
state income tax returns of the
person claiming the student as a
dependent. Additional documentation to substantiate dependency
during the current calendar year
may be required at a later time if
deemed necessary by the institution.
2. A student who provides evidence
that he or she is a financially
dependent person under these rules
shall not be required to establish a
12-month domicile prior to classification of resident status, provided
such a student may not be classified
as a resident while receiving
financial assistance from another
state or state agency for educational
purposes.
Residence Classification of Armed
Forces Personnel (580-010-0035)
1. For purposes of this rule, members
of the armed forces means officers
and enlisted personnel of:
a. The Army, Navy, Air Force,
Marine Corps, and Coast Guard of
the United States;
b. Reserve components of the Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard of the United
States;
c. The National Guard of the United
States and the Oregon National
Guard.
2. Notwithstanding OAR 580-0100030, active members of the armed
forces and their spouses and
dependent children shall be
considered residents for purposes of
the instructional fee if the members:
34
Oregon State University
a. Reside in this state while assigned
to duty at any base, station, shore
establishment, or other facility in
this state;
b. Reside in this state while serving
as members of the crew of a ship
that has an Oregon port of shore
establishment as its home port or
permanent station; or
c. Reside in another state or a
foreign country and file Oregon
state income taxes no later than
12 months before leaving active
duty.
3. An Oregon resident entering the
armed forces retains Oregon
residence classification until it is
voluntarily relinquished.
4. An Oregon resident who has been
in the armed forces and assigned on
duty outside of Oregon, including a
person who establishes residency
under section (2)(c) of this rule,
must, within a reasonable time,
demonstrate an intent to retain
classification as an Oregon resident.
Such intent may be shown by
returning to Oregon within six
months after completing service in
the armed forces.
5. A person who continues to reside in
Oregon after separation from the
armed forces may count the time
spent in the state while in the
armed forces to support a claim for
classification as an Oregon resident.
6. The dependent child and spouse of
a person who is a resident under
section (2) of this rule shall be
considered an Oregon resident.
“Dependent child” includes any
child of a member of the armed
forces who:
a. Is under 18 years of age and not
married, otherwise emancipated
or self-supporting; or
b. Is under 23 years of age, unmarried, enrolled in a full-time course
of study in an institution of
higher learning, and dependent
on the member for over one-half
of his/her support.
Residence Classification of
Members of Oregon Tribes
(580-010-0037)
1. Students who are enrolled members
of federally recognized tribes of
Oregon or who are enrolled members of a Native American tribe
which had traditional and customary tribal boundaries that included
parts of the state of Oregon or
which had ceded or reserved lands
within the state of Oregon shall be
assessed resident tuition regardless
of their state of residence.
2. For purposes of this rule, the
federally recognized tribes of
Oregon are:
a. Burns Paiute Tribe;
b. Confederated Tribes of Coos,
Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw;
c. Confederated Tribes of Grand
Ronde Community of Oregon;
d. Confederated Tribes of Siletz
Indians of Oregon;
e. Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla Indian Reservation;
f. Confederated Tribes of the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation;
g. Coquille Indian Tribe;
h. Cow Creek Band of Umpqua

GRADING SYSTEM
Grades
The grading system consists of 12 basic
grades, A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D+,
D, D– and F. A denotes exceptional
accomplishment; B, superior; C, average;
D, inferior; F, failure. Other marks are I,
incomplete; W, withdrawal; R, thesis in
progress; P, pass; N, no credit; S,
satisfactory (A to C–); U, unsatisfactory
(D+ to F); Aud, Audit.
When a requirement of a course has
not been completed for reasons acceptable to the instructor and the remaining
course work is passing, a report of I
(incomplete) may be made and additional time granted. The I is only
granted at the discretion of the instructor. If a student misses the final without
notification and approval acceptable to
the instructor, the instructor will report
the grade that is appropriate for the
requirements of the course. The
additional time awarded shall in no case
exceed one calendar year. To remove the
I grade, the student must complete the
deficiency within the allotted time and
the instructor will then submit the
appropriate grade. If the student fails to
complete the work within the allotted
time the instructor has the option to
either submit a substitute grade or allow
a permanent grade of I to remain on the
student’s record. The I grade will have
no effect on the student’s grade point
average.
Students may withdraw from a course.
In such cases, a grade of W is assigned. A
student who discontinues attendance in
a course without official withdrawal
receives a grade of F in the course.
Grade Points
Grade points are computed on the basis
of 4 points for each credit of A grade,
3.70 for each credit of A- grade, 3.30 for
each credit of B+ grade, 3.00 for each
credit of B grade, 2.70 for each credit of
B- grade, 2.30 for each credit of C+
grade, 2.00 for each credit of C grade,
1.70 for each credit of C– grade, 1.30 for
each credit of D+ grade, 1.00 for each
credit of D grade, .70 for each credit of
D– grade, and 0 for each credit of F.
Marks of I, W, P, N, R, S, and U are
disregarded in the computation of
points. The grade point average (GPA) is
the quotient of total points divided by
total credits; total credits are the number
of term credits in which grades A, B, C,
D, and F are received.
ACADEMIC STANDING
Satisfactory Academic Standing
(Undergraduate students)
Oregon State University expects students
to maintain satisfactory academic
progress toward degree completion. At
the conclusion of each term, grade point
and Records
averages are calculated and academic
standings determined for students
seeking a baccalaureate degree. Students
whose standings evidence a lack of
satisfactory progress will be warned of
this condition and advised to seek help
from their academic advisers.
Academic Warning: Students with a
term GPA below 2.00 will be placed on
academic warning.
Academic Probation: Students who
have completed two or more terms at
OSU and have an OSU cumulative GPA
below 2.00 will be placed on academic
probation. Students who attain a
cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better are
removed from academic probation.
Academic Suspension: Students who
are on academic probation and have a
subsequent term GPA below a 2.00 will
be placed on academic suspension.
Academic suspension is recorded on the
student’s academic record. Students who
are academically suspended are denied
all privileges of the institution and of all
organizations in any way connected to
it, including any university-recognized
living group. Suspended students will be
considered for reinstatement to the
university after two years or completion
of a minimum of 24 quarter credits of
transferrable college level work at an
accredited college or university, with a
GPA of 2.50 or above.
The Faculty Senate Academic Standing
Committee is charged with the responsibility for enforcement of the regulations
on satisfactory academic standing.
Additionally, this committee has
discretionary authority to grant
exceptions and to develop guidelines for
the administration of these regulations.
Attendance
An instructor has the privilege of
considering class participation in
arriving at a student’s grade, but it is not
intended that attendance in and of itself
normally be a factor in measuring a
student’s academic accomplishment in a
course.
Other Limitations
Academic performance is not the sole
criterion for admission to and continuation in certain courses and programs at
the university, such as practicum courses
and internships. The university may find
it necessary to evaluate a person’s
background to determine his or her
likelihood of maintaining standards of
professional conduct that are necessary
in the academic discipline or profession.
An evaluation may take into consideration current performance, as well as
past experiences and actions that could
affect a student’s ability to perform in
the particular course or program.
STUDENT CONDUCT
REGULATIONS
Oregon State University aspires to
stimulate a lasting attitude of social
responsibility and openness in our
students as well as an appreciation for
our values of accountability, diversity,
respect, and truth. Consistent with that,
all students enrolled at OSU are expected
to follow student conduct regulations
and university policies that have been
developed to govern behavior of
students as well as members of the
university community. These regulations
and policies are formulated to guarantee
each student’s freedom to learn and to
protect the fundamental rights of others.
The assumption upon which these
regulations are based is that all people
must treat others with dignity and
respect in order for scholarship to thrive.
The regulations and procedures for
disciplinary action and appeal are
available on the OSU Web site, http://
oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/.
Violations of the regulations subject a
student to appropriate disciplinary or
judicial action. These regulations have
been formulated by the Student Conduct
Committee, the Student Activities
Committee, the university administration, and the State Board of Higher
Education.
STUDENT RECORDS
Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended, (20 U.S.C.
1232g) provides that Oregon State
University students have the right to
inspect their education records that are

Academic Standing is charged
with the responsibility for
enforcement of the above regulations on Satisfactory Academic
Standing. Additionally, this
committee has discretionary
authority to grant exceptions and
to develop guidelines for the
administration of these regulations.
2. Students, who are placed on
probation by the university, also
will be notified that they are on
probation insofar as Veterans
Affairs’ progress standards are
concerned. If a student’s deficiency
is not corrected and they subsequently are placed on academic
suspension, the university will
notify Veterans Affairs of his or her
unsatisfactory progress.
3. The university will recertify students
who are suspended by the university
and subsequently reinstated by the
Academic Standing Committee.
4. Students dismissed from the
university for unsatisfactory
conduct will be reported as making
unsatisfactory progress. The
university will recertify the student
only upon rescission of the dismissal by the university.

OregonFinancial
State University
Aid
O
regon State University has
established comprehensive aid
programs to help you and your
family meet the cost of higher
education. Most of our students receive
some form of financial aid to help offset
their expenses regardless of the family
income and assets. Aid programs provided
through the OSU Office of Financial Aid
and Scholarships require the completion
of the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA).
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for federal financial aid, a
student must:
• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, a national or permanent
resident of the U.S. or be in the U.S.
for other than a temporary purpose.
• Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student working
toward a degree or certificate in an
eligible program, e.g. not special
admit.
• Have a valid Social Security number.
• Maintain satisfactory academic
progress as defined by Oregon State
University
• Comply with the Selective Service
registration requirements if required.
• Have a high school diploma or a
General Education Development
(GED) certificate, pass a test approved
by the U.S. Department of Education,
meet other standards the state
establishes that are approved by the
U.S. Department of Education, or
complete a high school education in a
home school setting that is treated as
a home school or private school
under state law.
• Sign a statement on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
certifying that you will use federal
student aid only for educational
purposes.
• Sign a statement on the FAFSA
certifying that you are not in default
on a federal student loan and that
you do not owe money back on a
federal student grant.
• Demonstrate financial need based on
the methodology written into law by
the U.S. Congress. (Except for some
loans programs.)
To determine eligibility for specific
programs, students are required to
complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. The
application is sent to the Department of
Education’s Central Processing System
that analyzes the information according to
a method prescribed by Congress. A
detailed financial analysis is then forwarded to Oregon State University.
Parent information is required for most
undergraduate students because the U.S.
Congress has said that families have the
primary responsibility for funding college.
Your dependency status is determined by
answers to a series of questions on the
FAFSA Application. Contact the OSU
Financial Aid and Scholarships office if
you have concerns regarding your family
situation.
If the information you provide indicates
you are a dependent of your parents, your
ability and your parents ability to
contribute to your education is evaluated.
Otherwise, only your resources are
evaluated, and if married, those of your
spouse.
The major factors considered in the
evaluation of your parent’s ability to
contribute are their income, net assets
(excluding home and farm), household
size, and number in college. To evaluate
the amount you are expected to contribute, the analysis considers the amount you
earned from work in the previous calendar
year (excluding work-study earnings), as
well as a portion of assets including cash,
savings, checking accounts, equity in real
estate (excluding farm and home), stocks,
bonds, trust funds and other securities. If
you have dependent children, your
student contribution will reflect an
allowance for the additional expenses for
your dependent children.
The amount that is figured from this
needs analysis is called your Expected
Family Contribution (EFC). This figure is
then used in an equation to determine
your financial need: Cost of Education
minus your Expected Family Contribution
(EFC) equals need.
Once your aid eligibility has been
established, an award package is then
assigned to meet your financial need.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Students must apply for financial aid by
completing the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the
Renewal Application and list Oregon State
University as one of their first six choices.
(Federal School code is 003210.) FAFSA
applications are available online at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Entering freshmen can
obtain a paper FAFSA at their high school,
community college or universities in their
area.
Oregon State University requires that
the FAFSA be completed and received at
the processor by February 29. Money is
limited and deadlines are established to
award financial aid funds.
All entering undergraduate and
graduate students are required to apply for
admission to the university before their
FAFSA will be reviewed by the financial
aid office. When your FAFSA has been
received and processed by the Department
of Education Central Processing System,

TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid comes in several different
forms: grants and scholarships, loans,
and work-study. Applicants may be
awarded a combination of several
different aid programs to help finance
their education.
Undergraduate students are eligible
for grants, scholarships, loans and
Federal Work-study. Graduate and postbaccalaureate students are eligible for
loans and Federal Work-study. Graduate

the regulations by the federal government and funding limits.
GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Funds that do not have to be repaid.
All-Campus Scholarships
These scholarships are need-based
awards administered by the OSU Office
of Financial Aid and Scholarships with

Loan Application and Promissory
Note that is mailed out by the OSU
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships upon request. (It is not
necessary to complete a FAFSA for
this loan if no other aid assistance is
being requested.)
It is a non-need-based loan at a
variable interest rate capped at
9 percent. Interest is charged on the

award. Funds are paid out monthly on
the basis of hours worked. Students are
notified of their eligibility for Federal
Work-Study on their financial aid award
letter.
OTHER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Part-time Employment
Part-time employment enables many
students to pay rent or to earn spending
money. The Career Services Office assists
students in locating employment
opportunities. Career Services is located
in 8 Kerr Administration Building,
(541) 737-4085. The Web site is
http://oregonstate.edu/career.
Emergency Loans
The Emergency Loan Program is
administered by the Business Affairs
Office and is designed for students who
anticipate a temporary cash flow
problem or encounter an unexpected
financial difficulty related to educational
expenses. You may borrow up to a
maximum of $250 per term.
The interest rate is 1 percent per
month on the outstanding balance and
accrues on the 15th of each month. You
may repay the loan early if you like, but
emergency loans are due in full by the
end of the term.
To request an emergency loan, you
must complete the Emergency Loan
Application available at the Cashier’s
Window. Emergency loans are not
available between terms.
AID PACKAGES
After your eligibility for financial aid has
been established, an award package is
designed to meet your need. The OSU
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
attempts to meet the full need of each
student whenever possible.
Awards are based on full time
enrollment (12 credits or more for
undergraduate students, 9 for graduate
students). You must contact the OSU
Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
in writing if you are enrolled less than
full time.
The type of package you receive
depends on your need, the maximum
limits within individual aid programs,
the availability of funding, as well as the
receipt date of your aid application.
There are three types of financial aid
funds: grants and scholarships; loans;
and work-study. The policy at Oregon
State University is first to award grants
and scholarships when eligible and then
loans and work-study.
Other resources such as grants and
scholarships from outside agencies,
ROTC awards, veterans benefits,
vocational rehabilitation assistance,
graduate assistantships and fellowships,
tuition waivers, room and board
assistance, and outside loan assistance
are also considered and included in your
total aid package to meet your established need.
A student’s aid package can be revised
at any point during the academic year
for changes including but not limited to:
changes in funding; changes in an aid
application; changes resulting from the
verification process; enrollment changes;
receipt of additional sources of funding;
changes affecting eligibility for awards.
AWARD NOTIFICATION
Students whose aid application was
received by the end of February may
expect to receive an initial award letter
by approximately April 1. Aid applications are then completed on a rolling
basis by date of receipt with award
notifications being sent out as files are
completed.
The award notification will show the
type and amount of aid available to you
for the coming school year. To reserve
these funds, the student must read, sign,
and accept the award within 30 days.
The accepted award indicates the
student has read and agrees to the terms
of the award as outlined.
Once you have been awarded financial
aid, you are responsible for notifying the
OSU Office of Financial Aid and
Scholarships in the event that you
receive any additional awards from any
other source. The OSU Office of
Financial Aid and Scholarships will then
make any required revisions to your aid
package. The receipt of additional aid
may result in a reduction or elimination
of aid from university-administered
programs.
RECEIPT OF AID FUNDS
Students are required to be registered and
have their tuition and fees assessed before
aid funds can be released. All approved
financial aid funds are disbursed at the
start of each term as a credit onto the
student’s billing account. Aid funds must
be received within the term of attendance.
Payment of aid funds for the prior term of
enrollment may only be possible if certain
conditions have been met. After eligible
university charges have been paid, any
excess aid will be refunded to the student.
Federal Work-study earnings are paid
each month by check for the hours
worked in the pay period.
Some private scholarship awards made
available to students by check will be
available at the OSU Business Affairs
Office.
Financial Aid
EXPENSES
Each year the OSU Office of Financial
Aid and Scholarships provides an
estimate of cost for attending OSU using
modest budgeting figures. The actual
amount a student will spend depends
upon their personal situation and
lifestyle choices. This estimated cost of
education figure is used to determine
need for financial aid.
The standard student budget includes
tuition and fees, room and board, books
and supplies, and miscellaneous
personal expenses. OSU uses one
standard budget for on- and off-campus
living arrangements.
2003–04 BUDGET FIGURES

*Tuition and fees are set annually by the
Oregon University System after July 1, 2004.
Financial aid applicants are assigned the
appropriate student budget. The
standard student budget may be adjusted
for costs associated with the study
resource fee assessed to pharmacy,
engineering, and MBA students, and the
origination fee for a student loan.
Additional adjustments for child care
expenses for children 12 and under;
medical, dental and/or commuting costs;
students with disabilities; study abroad
programs; or personal computer
expenses may be considered by meeting
with a financial aid adviser.
RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS
AND WITHDRAWAL RECORD
OSU is required to calculate the return of
Title IV financial aid funds for students
that officially or unofficially withdraw
during the academic term. Students who
do not intend to complete the term for
which they are enrolled, should follow
the official withdrawal process as
outlined by university regulations. This
calculation determines the amount of
aid funds that must be returned by the
institution as well as how much aid the
student must return for the period of
nonenrollment.
If a return of aid amount is calculated,
the funds must be repaid to the financial
aid programs in the following order:
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Ford Loan
Federal Direct Ford Loans
Federal Perkins Loan
Federal Direct PLUS Loan
Federal Pell Grant
Federal SEOG
Once all financial aid programs have
been repaid (other federal, state, and
private institutional funds), and all
tuition adjustments have been finalized,
if any funds remain, only then may a
student request a refund.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Requirements
You must make academic progress
toward your degree or educational
objective to be eligible for financial aid.
We check progress after spring term and
send a letter to students who fail to meet
the minimum yearly credits requirements and deny them any future aid.
Students who do not meet requirements
summer, fall, and winter terms receive a
warning letter informing them of their
status at the end of the term.
Maximum Time Frame
You must complete your educational
program with 150 percent of the
published time allowed for the educational program. (e.g. 18 full-time terms
for undergraduate programs). We also
consider the total number of credits you
have accumulated at any post-secondary
institution. Your eligibility for financial
aid ends when:
• You reach this maximum time
frame, or
• The cumulative number of credits
you have attempted (whether or not
earned) is greater than the number
of minimum credits required for
degree completion, regardless of
whether you have received financial
aid.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships has established guidelines for
evaluating your progress, and takes into
consideration your GPA as monitored by
the University Academic Regulations for
graduation and the total credits you
have accumulated at any post-secondary
school. This standard may not be the
same as academic department or
university standards. Permission to
enroll does not equal satisfactory
academic progress.
Credits
You must complete the number of
credits for the term of attendance at
Oregon State University for which you
received financial aid funds.
41
• Most aid programs require full-time
enrollment, which is 12 credits per
term for undergraduates or
36 credits for the academic year, and
9 credits per term for graduate
students or 27 credits for the year.
• Part-time students are evaluated on
the basis of their part-time enrollment and should contact the Office
of Financial Aid and Scholarships to
verify their individual status.
• Letter grades of I, F, N, and U do not
count as completed classes.
• Withdrawal and repeated courses do
not count toward earned credits for
any term.
• In addition to financial aid requirements, students must meet the
university’s academic regulations as
outlined in the OSU General Catalog
under Academic Regulations.
Appeal Process
If you fail to maintain satisfactory
academic progress requirements, you
will face financial aid probation, and/or
denial of aid.
• If aid is withheld, you can appeal to
reinstate aid by petitioning in
writing, explaining the extenuating
circumstances that caused you to
not meet the satisfactory academic
progress requirements.
• A financial aid adviser determines if
an exception will be made to allow
aid to continue based on the
petition statement, supporting
documents, and past academic
progress history.
• Appeals must be approved within
the enrollment period you are
requesting aid.
• A decision to uphold aid denial may
be appealed first to the financial aid
director. Further appeals are to the
financial aid committee and the
vice provost for Student Affairs.
REPORTING CHANGES
Your financial aid is based on the
information submitted to our office for
the current academic year in which you
requested aid. To keep your file current
and accurate, you are required to report
the changes to the OSU Office of
Financial Aid and Scholarships. You
should expect a revision of your award
in most cases. Changes can include but
are not limited to:
• Additional financial assistance:
scholarships, grants, loans, fee
waivers, GI Bill, Tribal Assistance,
VA benefits and/or VA Vocational
Rehabilitation, tuition/book,
support, social security benefits or
any other monetary award not
reported previously.
42
Oregon State University
• Receipt of graduate teaching or
research assistantship, and/or
fellowship.
• Receipt of resident adviser position
or ROTC stipend and scholarship
• Changes in enrollment hours and/
or withdrawal from the university
• Changes in residency status for
tuition purposes.
• Change in course load if below full
time.
ENTRANCE AND EXIT
INTERVIEW
All Federal Direct Ford loan recipients
are required to complete an entrance
interview prior to receiving the first
disbursement of their loan proceeds
(http://dlservicer.ed.gov/ or http://
www.dlssonline.com/index.asp).
They are also required to complete an
exit interview during their last term of
attendance (http://dlservicer.ed.gov/ or
http://www.dlssonline.com/index.asp).
APPLYING ANNUALLY
You must submit a financial aid
application (FAFSA) for each academic
year in which you want to be considered
for financial aid assistance. Oregon State
University is not obligated to continue
aid beyond the last term stated on the
award letter.
APPEALS
Students who are not satisfied with a
decision of a financial aid staff member
may appeal that decision, in writing,
and then in person to the following staff
in the order indicated: the director of
Financial Aid and Scholarships, the
Financial Aid Appeals Subcommittee,
and then the vice provost of Student
Affairs.

TYPES OF SCHOLARSHIPS
Four categories of scholarships are
offered through the College of Agricultural Sciences
1. Beginning Venture Agricultural
Honors Scholarships for incoming
students
2. Continuing Venture Agricultural
Honors Scholarships for continuing
students
3. College of Agricultural Sciences
Scholarship Awards for incoming or

4. Departmental scholarships for
incoming or continuing students
These scholarships are described, in
general, here. Please contact the College
of Agricultural Sciences for more
information about Beginning and
Continuing Venture Agricultural Honors
Scholarships and College of Agricultural
Sciences Scholarship Awards, and
contact the indicated department
regarding departmental scholarships.
We urge all students to apply. Often,
many criteria other than academic

recipients.
The Agricultural Honors
Scholarship Program
The CAS must produce well-educated,
productive, and qualified professionals
in all agricultural and natural-resource
disciplines to ensure the future prosperity of Oregon’s agricultural and natural
resources.
A shortage of qualified science,
business, and technical professionals
threatens our agricultural and natural
resources. While the need for advanced
education in the agricultural industry
has grown, the supply of highly skilled
talent in the agricultural and naturalresource sciences has declined.
The Agricultural Honors Scholarship
Program is designed to attract talented
students to the CAS.
The E.R. Jackman Board and Savery
Fund of the Agricultural Research
Foundation fostered the program to
enable students to concentrate on their
studies without worrying about personal
finances. Through the Agricultural
Honors Scholarship Program, the CAS
awards about $50,000 to incoming
students and $10,000 to continuing
students each year.
Beginning Venture Agricultural

ART AND MUSIC
Exhibits, lectures, concerts, and recitals
sponsored by the departments of Art and
Music, Encore, Memorial Union Program
Council, and student musical and art
organizations play a central part in the
cultural life of the community. Under
the patronage of the Memorial Union
Program Programs, exhibitions in the
Memorial Union stimulate interest in
architecture, painting, sculpture, and
related arts. They offer students knowledge of their cultural heritage and an
awareness of contemporary art movements. Student and faculty art exhibits
are shown in various galleries throughout the year (see “Museums, Galleries,
Collections, and Colloquia.”)
Non-credit classes in ceramics,
photography, woodworking, weaving,
and glass are offered through the
Memorial Union Craft Center.
Membership in student musical
organizations is open to all students after
consultation with the directors concerned.
OSU groups are members of the American
Symphony Orchestra League and the
American Choral Foundation. Students in
these activities earn regular credit. The
Corvallis-OSU Symphony, University band
organizations, the University Choir, Bella
Voce, and Meistersingers present several
concerts annually on the campus.
Advanced music students and faculty also
give public recitals throughout the year.
The Corvallis and OSU Music Association and the Friends of Chamber Music
bring artists of international fame to the
campus for concerts and recitals. Advanced music students and faculty also
give public recitals during the year. Several
dance recitals are given each year under
the auspices of the College Health and
Human Sciences and other organizations.
ASOSU–STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
Web site: http://asosu.oregonstate.edu/
The Associated Students of Oregon State
University (ASOSU) is the officially
recognized student government at OSU.
ASOSU represents students at the
campus, community, state, and federal
levels on issues that directly influence
the quality of, and ability to attain a
post-secondary education. ASOSU
provides numerous opportunities for
leadership development and professional experience in areas as diverse as
political organizing and other forms of
social activism.
The structure of ASOSU is very
familiar. Governance is shared among
three branches – the legislative, judicial,
Student Support
and executive. The legislative portion is
divided into two bodies, the Undergraduate Senate and a Graduate Senate.
Student senators are elected by popular
vote within their respective colleges
during the student officer elections near
the end of each academic year. Senate
seats are apportioned based upon the
population of each college. The judiciary
function in ASOSU is carried out by the
Judicial Board. The Judicial Board is
made up of five students who are not
otherwise involved in ASOSU. The board
oversees any controversies or cases that
involve interpretation of the ASOSU
Constitution. The executive branch is
lead by the president and vice-president
whom are elected as a ticket by popular
vote of the entire student body. Upon
election, this executive duo appoints
five executive officers, two service
directors, 10 taskforce directors, as well
as various support staff (For a detailed
description of each position please
reference our Web site at http://
asosu.oregonstate.edu). Each executive
appointee is subject to approval by both
the Graduate and Undergraduate
Senates.
ASOSU is always seeking new volunteers and future leaders. There are a
number of ways to get involved in a
broad range of interests and topics. One
of the easiest ways to get involved in
ASOSU is to simply volunteer. Volunteers work at their own pace and chose
their level of involvement. The next
level of participation involves serving as
a student representative on one of the
various campus committees. There are
numerous different working committees
at OSU that govern issues ranging from
public safety to budgets and fiscal
planning. Students who serve on a
university committee are eligible to
receive academic credit. Students can
also earn academic credit by becoming
an ASOSU intern. Students enrolled in
the ASOSU Internship Program spend
between 2–6 hours per week working
with any of the various members of the
executive branch, as well as attend a
class one night a week to learn fundamental leadership and organizing skills.
The ASOSU Internship Program is a great
way to get tapped into campus governance at OSU.
If you are interested in getting
involved in one of the nation’s premiere
student governments, or have any
questions or concerns regarding any
other matter, please feel free to contact
ASOSU anytime. You can stop by the
ASOSU offices located in 149 Memorial
Union East (Snell Hall), or e-mail the
Executive Secretary

Oregon State University’s Educational
Opportunities Program (EOP) recruits
and assists in the retention of minority,
low-income, and disabled students who
have traditionally been denied equal
access to higher education. EOP serves
those who may or may not meet the
current university admission requirements but are recognized as having the
potential to successfully complete a
college degree program.
EOP recruits within Oregon communities with concentrations of ethnic
minority and non-traditional students.
Recruited and referred students are
assisted in gaining admission to the
university.
After arrival on campus, the particular
needs of the individual student are
identified from placement tests,
academic records, and information
obtained from the student. An academic
plan of tutoring, counseling, and
advising is developed that determines
the nature of the student’s participation
in EOP. The plan is subject to continual
re-examination and may be revised at
any time by the student and staff
together.
United States citizens or permanent
residents interested in participating in
the program may write to the Educational Opportunities Program, OSU, 337

General information
The English Language Institute helps
provide international students with the
broad range of language, academic, and
cultural skills necessary for competent
study at an American college or university. The Institute offers instruction in
English as a Second Language (ESL) in a
variety of courses: reading, writing,
speaking, listening comprehension, and
academic preparation for students who
want intensive English study and for
students conditionally admitted to OSU.
The ELI’s Learning Center has language
books, tapes, videos, software, and
writing and pronunciation assistants.
74
Oregon State University
The academic experience is supplemented by social, cultural, and recreational activities. The American
conversant program arranges at least one
hour per week of conversation with
native speakers, usually university
students. Students at the ELI have the
same privileges as regularly enrolled
students in the use of campus recreational facilities, library, bookstore, and
student health and counseling services.
Diagnostic Testing
The ELI conducts the on-campus testing
of English language proficiency for
international students who have been
conditionally admitted to OSU. (See the
international student admission
requirements in this catalog.) Based on
this language assessment, the ELI
recommends English language course
work appropriate for the individual. The
ELI also provides assistance to graduate
teaching assistants already at OSU by
evaluating their language skills, identifying deficiencies, and offering a special
course each fall for international
graduate teaching assistants.
Part-Time Option for OSU Students
The ELI provides a communication
station in the ELI Learning Center for
international students and scholars who
want to improve their oral communication without enrolling in a class.
Students can use the ELI’s specially
designed technology resources on their
own to improve their pronunciation.
OSU students may be able to benefit
from a fee splitting arrangement with
the ELI whereby they can take an ELI
class without paying extra tuition.

The Department of University Housing
and Dining Services provides a diverse
selection of housing and dining
alternatives—university-owned student
cooperatives, residence halls, and
student family housing—all of which
offer a variety of programs and services.
University Housing’s main goals are to
help students succeed academically,
become active citizens of their communities, and enrich and enjoy their
university experience. Through the
Department of University Housing and
Dining Services, students can make
arrangements for meals and accommodations, consult with residential life
staff, bring suggestions for improvements, and receive assistance on their
concerns and interests. Emphasis is upon
helping students achieve academic
success and providing comfortable, safe,
reasonably priced living accommodations and programs.
Oregon State University recognizes
the impact the living environment has
upon student life. This environment,
whether on or off campus, is an
important part of the student’s education experience. The university is
committed to providing all students in
the residential setting an integrated
program for social, cultural, and
educational development beyond the
classroom.
Students are not required to live in
university housing, but it is strongly
encouraged. We have found it is easier to
make friends and adjust to university life
if they live on campus for a year or two.
Students who live on campus typically
do better academically and are more
likely to continue their education.
COOPERATIVE HOUSES
The eight cooperative houses at Oregon
State University provide small-group
living experiences for approximately 400
students. House capacities vary from 40
to 60. Student residents are responsible
for developing their internal governmental organizations. Incoming
students receive help from returning
cooperative members in adjusting to the
university and to the unique, dynamic
atmosphere of the cooperative. Cooperative members reduce their board-androom costs by performing work duties of
three to five hours per week in the
houses. All cooperatives are smoke-free.
Oregon State University owns and
operates six cooperative houses: Azalea
House, Oxford House, and Reed Lodge
for women; and Avery Lodge and
Heckart Lodge for men. Dixon Lodge is
for men and women who have been out
of high school for at least a year.
Beaver Lodge and Varsity House are
independently owned and accommodate
men. All cooperative houses are
members of the Intercooperative
Association (ICA).
Information and application forms
may be obtained from the Department
of University Housing and Dining
Services or from the individual private
houses.
RESIDENCE HALLS
Through its 12 residence halls, the
university offers a variety of living
environments, including special
program halls, designated quiet floors,
coeducational facilities, and substancefree housing and an academic success
program focus with faculty-in-residence.
West International House offers
cultural diversity programs for U.S. and
international students. McNary Hall is
home to Honors College students. The
Callahan Hall program focuses on the
First Year Experience. Wilson Hall is
focused on engineering, math, and
science. Finley features a wellness
program. Cauthorn Hall is our outdoor
pursuits hall. Halsell Hall is home to our
interdisciplinary program in community
service learning. Weatherford Hall will
reopen in 2004 with an entrepreneurship program.
Most student rooms are designed for
double occupancy. A limited number of
single rooms are available in each hall.
All residence halls are smoke-free.
The residence hall dining program
features an a la carte meal service, with
services offered in Marketplace West in
McNary Central Dining Center and
Arnold Center. Residential students have
75
a choice of four flexible meal plans,
which can be used in any of the three

The University Exploratory Studies
Program (UESP) is an academic advising
program for students who are exploring
majors at Oregon State University.
Students who are undecided about a
major can elect to enroll in UESP instead
of enrolling in an academic college
major. Students are encouraged to
declare a major as soon as they have
decided. Transferring from UESP to an
academic department can occur at any
time during the exploratory period.
Regular academic advising is particularly important for the long-term
academic success of students currently
exploring multiple options. Therefore,
all UESP students are required to obtain
academic advising prior to registration
for each term in the program. The
personal identification number or PIN
necessary for registration of UESP
students is provided at the conclusion of
the advising session.
Students in UESP receive specialized
academic advising and are encouraged to
participate in one or more career
exploration experiences sponsored by
the UESP staff. These services include
individual career counseling, career
workshops, DISCOVER and the ALS 114
Career Decision Making course.
DISCOVER is a computer-based career
planning program that can help
students learn more about themselves
and occupations that may be right for
them. DISCOVER is available free of
charge to OSU students after obtaining a
personal password.
UESP has an Internet home page that
is linked to information about the world
of work. Students can link to many
career and academic major information
sources. Some of the sources are for OSU
departments, while others are worldwide. Visit http://oregonstate.edu/uesp/.

and podiatry. OSU provides opportuni-
ties for students from participating states
to major in pharmacy and veterinary
medicine.
In most programs, WICHE students
receive preference in admission and pay
resident tuition at state-supported
institutions (or reduced tuition at
private institutions). Students apply to
the certifying office in their home state
for certification in fields in which the
state supports its residents through the
Professional Student Exchange Program.
The student then applies for admission to the participating university of
their choice. Students from Oregon must
make application as Oregon residents
prior to October 15 of the year preceding
the academic year of anticipated
enrollment.
85
WICHE certification does not
guarantee admission. The WICHE
Professional Student Exchange Program
applies only to the professional years of
schooling; pre-professional study is not
included. This is not a scholarship
program, but an extension of the
educational opportunities that each
state offers its residents.

James.Reinmuth@oregonstate.edu
The Oregon State University Foundation, a private, nonprofit organization,
supports Oregon State University by
encouraging private giving to benefit
the university.
Foundation staff members, student
workers, and volunteers build relationships with donors at all giving levels,
helping them to make gifts that meet
their charitable goals. Outright gifts,
including cash, securities, and property,
benefit the university immediately.
Deferred gifts, including bequests, life
insurance, and life income agreements,
provide funding for the future.
In addition to supporting projects
initiated by donors, the foundation
seeks gifts for specific priorities determined by the university. In the past,
these priorities have included scholarships, endowed faculty positions,
renovating The Valley Library, and
building Richardson Hall, the CH2M
Hill Alumni Center, and the LaSells
Stewart Center. Currently the foundation is focusing its efforts on a technology campaign to help the College of
Engineering become a top-25 ranked
program. One component of the
technology campaign will restore
Weatherford Hall, making it the home of
an innovative program in entrepreneurship. This effort is spearheaded by the
College of Business.
Besides raising funds, the foundation
holds and manages several thousand gift
accounts earmarked by donors to benefit
specific programs or colleges. Over 1,000
of the gift accounts are endowed; only a
portion of the interest they generate can
be expended each year. The principal
remains invested for growth so future
generations will have the same opportunities that today’s students have.
As of June 30, 2002, the foundation’s
endowment totaled $243 million and its
assets exceeded $375 million.

Oregon
State Extension
University
OSU
Service
O
regon State University serves the
state of Oregon, the nation, and
the world through teaching,
research, and outreach. The
OSU Extension Service has offices in 36
Oregon counties and delivers programs in
agriculture, family and community
development, forestry, Sea Grant, and 4-H
youth development. These units have a
direct impact on Oregon’s economy and
the lives of Oregonians.
OSU EXTENSION SERVICE
Oregon State University’s Extension
Service provides education and information based on timely research to help
Oregonians solve problems and develop
skills related to youth, family, farm, forest,
and marine resources. It carries out its
mission by extending the research and
knowledge bases of the university to
people who need the information, and
provides leadership in applying this
knowledge to the problems people have
identified.
Anyone may participate in Extension
offerings. Thousands of Oregon citizens
volunteer to assist in Extension programs
by leading and teaching groups, responding to questions, and providing educational information. OSU students support
their communities, gain practical experience and learn through Extension
placements, applying academic learning to
address local community needs.
Extension educational programs are
developed in response to the needs of
people in Oregon. Needs are identified by
OSU Extension faculty, who are located
throughout the state in county offices.
Off-campus faculty, who work with people
to assess their needs, partner with
members of Extension’s on-campus faculty
to prepare and deliver useful educational
programs. About 2/3 of OSU’s Extension
faculty and staff are located in offices off
campus. Financial support is from county,
state, and federal governments, grants, and
other sources.
There are five major Extension education program areas:
Agriculture
Extension’s agricultural program provides
education, training, and technical
assistance to people with agriculturally
related needs and interests. Major program
emphasis is on food and fiber production,
farm business management, marketing,
processing of agricultural products,
resource use and conservation.
Family and Community
Development
Extension’s Family and Community
Development program helps Oregonians
improve their health, family, and
community through education and
community partnerships. Major programming extends knowledge related to public
health, nutrition, exercise science, human
development, family financial management, and aging to address important
needs in Oregon’s communities.
Forestry
Extension’s forestry program improves
Oregonians’ knowledge of forest
resources and their options for expanding benefits from these resources. This
educational program assists forest
owners, managers, processors, and users
in understanding small woodland
production and management and use of
all forest lands. Priority subjects are
reforestation, growth, management,
harvesting, processing and use of wood,
protection of soil and water, and other
multiple uses and values.
Sea Grant Program
Extension’s Sea Grant Program provides
education, training, and technical
assistance to people with coastal-related
needs and interests. Major efforts are
concentrated in the areas of fisheries and
wildlife, watersheds and other natural
resource management, marine engineering, food science and technology,
economics, business, resource management, education, and recreation. The
program is primarily supported by the
OSU Sea Grant College and the OSU
Extension Service.
4-H Youth Development
Extension is the parent organization for
all 4-H youth activities in Oregon. Its 4-H
program helps young people become
productive and self-directing by developing their practical skills and knowledge.
Professionals and volunteers together
provide educational projects and
activities in leadership, citizenship,
animal science, plant science, family and
consumer science, communication,
cultural and expressive arts, natural
science, and mechanical science. 4-H
youth development offers programming
to young people through 4-H clubs,
school enrichment, after-school programs, and special interest groups.

OSU Extended Campus
E
ach term, through OSU Extended
Campus (Ecampus), thousands of
individuals throughout Oregon
and around the world take OSU
courses. Most of these students do this
without ever coming to Corvallis. They’re
among a growing number of individuals
who are accessing education via the Web,
video, independent study, interactive
television, and on-site at locations around
the state, nation and world. Most of the 150
distance courses offered each term include
some online component such as e-mail
communication with faculty, and the
majority are offered entirely on the Web at
http://ecampus.oregonstate.edu.
Distance learners include community
college students, working and retired
professionals, high school students, and
individuals who may simply be wanting to
take a single college course. Assistance is
available online, by phone or in person
through the Ecampus Student Services
Center to individuals interested in taking
OSU courses at a distance.
ONLINE COURSES AND DEGREES
OSU degree completion programs offered in
cooperation with community college
partners are “baccalaureate completion” or
joint admission/dual enrollment programs.
Students complete two years of community
college course work followed by two years of
upper-division course work, available
through OSU Extended Campus. Additionally, joint admission and dual enrollment
programs are established with Central
Oregon Community College, Linn-Benton
Community College, Portland Community
College, and Southwestern Oregon Community College. This option allows students to
take both community college and OSU
classes concurrently to meet the course load
requirement for financial aid and to access
other OSU services.
Currently, faculty offer courses in more
than 35 subjects including agriculture,
communication, education, engineering,
forestry, geosciences, history, philosophy,
math, public health, and women studies.
Academic faculty design courses, curricula,
and degree programs and then work with
the staff at OSU Extended Campus to offer
the courses for distance delivery.
An increasing number of useful student
services are offered online including OSU ENews, a monthly electronic newsletter that
provides support to distance students
through pertinent articles, resource referrals,
and important university updates and
reminders. Students can receive everything
from computer support to career counseling
online, and a distance librarian provides
guidance for distance students to access
more than 20 community college and
university libraries in the Pacific Northwest.
OSU Extended Campus staff provide an
array of services for faculty including course
development assistance using Web and
interactive video technologies, marketing support, facility coordination, and
liaison activities with partnering
community colleges and universities.
PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS
The OSU Extended Campus Professional
Programs unit provides professional
education and training for businesses,
organizations, associations, and professionals anywhere throughout the state
and beyond. Formats are varied and
include workshops, seminars, short
courses, conferences, and certificate
programs; companies can request their
own customized training as well. All
formats can be delivered face-to-face,
online, or through teleconferencing.
OSU K–12 ONLINE
This new program is designed for high
school students. Students have access to
our flexible learning program where they
can take high school classes online
anytime, from anywhere. (Courses are
available on a 9-week fast track, or an
18-week format.) We currently offer over
30 high school classes in a variety of
subjects from English and Math, to AP
Biology and Web Design. All courses are
taught by experienced licensed teachers.
OSU SUMMER SESSION
OSU’s Summer Session is a great way to
begin, continue, or advance one’s
education. Courses range in length from
two days to 11 weeks, with most courses
running eight weeks. Many departments
also offer independent study projects,
e.g. research, reading and conference,
thesis, internship, etc.
The typical full-time summer course
load for undergraduates is 12 credits, for
graduate students, 9 credits. Undergraduates may, however, take up to 19 credits
and graduate students up to 16.
Anyone can register for summer
session classes because there are no
admission requirements. Students who
have been academically suspended from
the university are ineligible to attend the
summer session. Students who want to
be admitted to begin their degree course
work during the summer session must
apply according to admission deadlines.
For details, call the Office of Admissions
at (541) 737-4411.
Nonresident students enjoy considerable tuition savings because there are no
out-of-state fees during summer.
Residents and nonresidents pay the same
tuition.
The Summer Session Bulletin, published
each spring, contains current information on summer courses and schedule,
registration procedures, tuition, housing,
services and facilities, etc. For a free copy
of the Summer Session Bulletin, call (541)

be less formal, with smaller classes and
more accessible instructors.
Honors College
Students who
complete the
requirements of the
University Honors
College receive
OSU’s most
prestigious
academic recognition: an Honors
Baccalaureate
Degree (HBA,
HBFA or HBS) in
their major, jointly
awarded by the
University Honors
College and their
major.
T
he University Honors College
is all about enrichment: How
high can you dream? The UHC
provides challenging curricula,
personal attention, and enhanced learning
experiences in general education and in
the student’s primary academic interest.
The University Honors College offers
courses consisting of small groups taught
by OSU’s finest faculty, specifically
selected for their undergraduate teaching
abilities. Through seminars, colloquia, and
their own thesis research, students enjoy
the benefits of a small college within a
large, diverse, and comprehensive
university.
Both a four-year and a two-year track
are available. The two-year track is
designed for transfer students or for
students already enrolled at OSU. Interested students should contact the
University Honors College office for
information.
ADMISSION
Admission is competitive and selective—
only a small percentage of all entering
students join the University Honors
College and space is limited. UHC
students are exceptionally able, highly
motivated, and intellectually curious.
They have a highly developed social
consciousness and a sense of responsibility. Admission decisions are based on
grade-point averages, SAT or ACT scores,
and essay questions that reveal the
student’s background, interests, and
academic motivations, as well as abilities
that may not be obvious from other
measures. Generally speaking, high school
applicants must have a 3.75 GPA or a score
of 1200 SAT (ACT=27) to be considered
(the same qualifications students need for a
high-end scholarship).
Entering first-year students interested in
beginning the UHC fall term should
submit an application by either November
1 or February 1. Applicants must also have
completed an application for admission to
OSU by that time. Admission decisions are
made approximately
45 days after submission. Responses to
current UHC essay questions are required.
Transfer or advanced-standing applicants follow identical deadlines and
timelines.
Undergraduate Degrees
Honors Bachelor of Arts (HBA)
Honors Bachelor of Fine Arts (HBFA)
Honors Bachelor of Science (HBS)
MAJORS AND DEGREES
Students enrolled in the University
Honors College can pursue any one of
OSU’s wide range of undergraduate
majors. Students who complete the
requirements of the University Honors
College receive OSU’s most prestigious
undergraduate academic recognition: an
honors baccalaureate degree in their
major, jointly awarded by the Honors
College and the college in which their
major is located.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Because the honors degree is the primary,
jointly awarded degree, there may be few,
if any, additional credit requirements
beyond the total required by the college
of the student’s major. UHC students
must satisfy all university and major
degree requirements, including:
First and Second Years (15 credits)
• Honors writing course (HC 199) (3)
• Honors baccalaureate core courses (12)
Third and Fourth Years (15 credits)
(at least 12 must be upper division)
• Honors colloquia (4)
• Honors electives (6–9)
• Introduction to thesis or project (1)
• Thesis/project (4–6)
A student who completes 30 credits of
University Honors College courses will be
designated an Honors Scholar. A student
who completes the 15-credit track will be
designated as an Honors Associate. In
either instance successful completion
leads to receipt of an honors baccalaureate
degree. Transcripts will also reflect Honors
College completion and will denote UHC
course work.
Many honors classes satisfy dual
requirements; please check details with
the Honors College head adviser. For
students in majors that require a senior
thesis/project, the University Honors
College thesis or project will often satisfy
that requirement as well. The honors
thesis requirements will complement
those of other programs requiring a senior
thesis.
RETENTION CRITERIA
All UHC students must maintain a 3.25
cumulative OSU GPA and make timely
progress toward fulfilling the requirements of the UHC and their major. All
UHC student grades will be reviewed each
term. Students below, or at risk of falling
below the specified 3.25 cumulative OSU
GPA will be notified. Students whose
cumulative GPA remains below the
standard will lose UHC status.
All students must maintain contact
with Honors advisers through regularly
scheduled appointments.
HONORS COURSES
See the Schedule of Classes each term
under University Honors College and
under departmental listings for courses
with an H suffix. The UHC publishes its
own schedule, which is available each
term in the UHC office.

Undergraduate Major
International Studies (BA)
The International Degree is Oregon State
University’s unique dual degree program. It allows any interested undergraduate student the opportunity to
explore the international dimensions of
any primary major. International Degree
students complete Advanced Proficiency
in a Second Language, Four Core
Courses in International Studies, an
International Experience, and a Senior
Thesis.
As an International Degree participant, you will earn two degrees. The first
degree, the primary degree, will be your
chosen major in any department on
campus. The International Degree, or
concurrent degree, will be in International Studies in your primary degree
department.
For example, if your primary degree is
a BS in Environmental Science, then the
International Degree would be a BA in
International Studies in Environmental
Science.
Admission Requirements to the
International Degree Program
1. A minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA
after completing at least 32 credits
of college-level courses and good
standing within your department,
college and the University. The dean
of your college may give you special
consideration if you fall below this
minimum. See the International
Degree Office for more information
about this process.
2. Proficiency in a foreign language
equivalent to that attained by the
end of a second-year language
sequence at OSU. This may be met
in one of the following ways:
• Successful completion of four or
more years of consecutive study
of the same foreign language at
the high school level preceding
admission to Oregon State
University;
• Completion of the AP College
Board test in a foreign language
with a score of 4 or 5;
• Completion of the third term of a
second-year foreign language
sequence at OSU or at another
accredited university with a GPA
of 3.0 or better. This course must
constitute a minimum of
4 quarter or 3 semester credits.
• Completion of one term of a
third-year foreign language course
(i.e., any course designated 311,
312 or 313) at OSU or another
accredited university with a GPA
of 3.0 or better. This course must
constitute a minimum of
3 quarter or 2 semester hours.
• An international student whose
native language is not English
who wishes to use English to
satisfy the foreign language
entrance requirement will have
satisfied the requirement upon
admission to OSU.
3. Meet any additional requirements
established by your major department or college.
Special Notes about Admission
If you change majors after admission to
the International Degree Program, you
will have to reapply for admission to the
International Degree Program in your
new department.
If you are pursuing two degrees
besides the International Degree, you
only need to apply for the International
Degree in one department. The choice of
departments is up to you, but you
should consult your advisers before
determining where to apply.
*You may be admitted to the program
as a pre-International Degree student if
you meet all the requirements listed
above except for the two-year language
requirement.
GENERAL INTERNATIONAL
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
1. You must successfully complete all
departmental, college, and institutional requirements for your
primary degree.
2. You must also complete a minimum
of 32 credits in residence beyond
the minimum 180 to 204 credits
required for most primary degrees.
Courses taken through an OSUsponsored program abroad are
considered in-residence credits.
Depending on the level of previous
foreign language study and experience abroad, you could take
anywhere from a minimum of
32 additional hours to a maximum
range of 70+ additional hours to
complete the degree.
3. Additional International Degree
requirements may be established for
your primary degree, so check with
your major adviser or the International Degree Contact in your
department to make sure that you
know what they are and that you
are able to complete them. When
you meet with your adviser, have a
transcript in hand.
4. As is currently true for all degrees,
your academic dean will verify that
you have completed the International Degree requirements. The
graduation audit will be done along
with and in the same fashion as for
your primary degree by your major
department. Confirmation of the
International Degree will be
appropriately noted on your
transcripts, and you will receive
separate diplomas.
SPECIFIC INTERNATIONAL
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
1. You must demonstrate advanced
level achievement or proficiency in
a foreign language in one of the
approved ways. Typically, this
requirement is met by completing
the third term of a fourth-year
language sequence at OSU. Students
must take language courses for letter
grades and earn a cumulative GPA
of 3.0. Exceptions may be considered only by petition (see International Degree office for details). To
find out about additional ways to
demonstrate advanced proficiency,
contact the International Degree
office.
2. You must successfully complete a
minimum of four courses selected
from the Baccalaureate Core
Curriculum, with the approval of
your departmental International
Degree adviser. These courses are in
addition to the university’s baccalaureate core requirements. The
International Degree course requirements from the baccalaureate core
are as follows:
• One course selected from the
Western Culture category
(3–4 credits);
• Two courses selected from the
Cultural Diversity category
(6–8 credits);
• One course selected from the
Western Culture, Cultural
Diversity, or Contemporary
Global Issues categories
(3–4 credits). Note: Not all four
courses may focus on the same
culture or language. For example,
you cannot take all four of the
additional Baccalaureate Core
courses focusing on Spanish
speaking countries/peoples.
International Education

3. The third requirement of the degree
is to spend a minimum of 10 weeks
overseas engaged in a study abroad
program, an international internship or an international research
project.
4. The final requirement for the degree
is to prepare a rigorous and integrative senior thesis, that demonstrates
a fundamental and comprehensive
understanding of global issues and
of the international dimensions of
your primary degree. Requirements
for the Senior Thesis include
successful completion of INTL 407,
Seminar: International Issues:
Introduction to Thesis, for 1 credit
and 3 to 6 credits of 403 (Thesis) in
your department.
GRADUATION LANGUAGE
REQUIREMENTS
Students must demonstrate advanced
level achievement or proficiency in a
single foreign language in one of the
following ways:
• Completion of a fourth-year foreign
language sequence (designated 411,
412, 413) at OSU with a minimum
3.00 GPA cumulative in all foreign
language courses. Courses must be
taken for a letter grade and may not
be graded S/U.
• Completion of a fourth-year foreign

• Demonstration of fourth-year level
proficiency in a foreign language as
evidenced by an oral proficiency
test administered by a certified
foreign language proficiency tester
that is approved by the OSU

• For languages not offered at OSU,
the requirement may also be
completed by a minimum of ninemonth residency (study, research,
work), after fulfilling the foreign
language entrance requirement, in a
country in which the language is
spoken.
• Completion of a minimum of one
term international internship using
target language after completion of
third-year language sequence (311,
312, 313) at OSU with a cumulative
GPA of 3.0 or above.
TEN WEEKS ABROAD
Students must spend a minimum of 10
weeks in another country where the
language used to meet the International
Degree requirement is spoken and be
engaged in one of the following:
• A study-abroad program offered by
OSU, another university, or a
program designed by the student.
Programs administered by other
universities or those designed by
students must be approved by the
International Degree Program and
the student’s primary department.
Currently OSU has universitysponsored programs in over 24
countries.
• An international internship or work
program that receives academic
credit, such as the IE3Global
Internship Program offered by OSU.
• A pre-approved research project
abroad, such as the International
Undergraduate Research Program
(IURP) offered by OSU.
• Previous international experience,
such as the Peace Corps, approved
by the primary academic department and the International Degree
Program.
SENIOR THESIS
The final requirement for the degree is
to prepare a rigorous and integrative
senior thesis that demonstrates a
fundamental and comprehensive
understanding of global issues and of
the international dimensions of your
primary degree. This thesis places your
academic discipline in an international
context, often in a comparative fashion.
Because it fulfills the Writing Intensive
Course requirement for the International Degree, it will involve multiple
drafts and revisions. The final product
will represent polished, formal writing,
in a format appropriate to your academic field.
Dual thesis requirements: You may
write one thesis to meet the International Degree requirement and the thesis
requirement in your department. If you
will complete a senior thesis to meet
another academic requirement in your
105
primary degree, it is important to
consult with academic advisers in your
major as well as in the International
Degree office.
• Example: If you are in the University
Honors College, you will work with both
the Honors College and the International Degree office to ensure that you
fulfill both sets of requirements.
Thesis proposal: A copy of the thesis
proposal form will be on file in the
International Degree Program office. The
topic will evolve as you work, and may
change substantially, but identifying an
appropriate adviser and developing a
proposal form are crucial steps in your
progress toward completion of the thesis
requirement of the International Degree.
If your thesis ideas change significantly,
it is important to file a revised proposal
with the ID Program office.
Thesis credit: Before graduating, you
will spend two to three terms working
on the thesis and will receive credits
through your major department. You
will register for a minimum of 3 thesis
credits under the department prefix
appropriate to your major (403), with
your thesis adviser as the professor of
record. These credits may be distributed
over multiple terms, and you may
receive an incomplete for the credits
taken during the earlier term(s) until
you have finished your thesis work. You
will register for these credits during the
year you plan to complete your thesis
work, as incomplete grades should be
removed within 12 months. Please note
that credits for which you receive an
incomplete do not count toward credits
satisfactorily completed during that
term. If you receive financial aid, you
should plan ahead to ensure that this
does not affect your aid eligibility.
• Example: If you are a sociology
major, you would register for a minimum of 3 credits of SOC 403. If you are
a mathematics major, you would register
for MTH 403. Some departments already
have a thesis course listed in the Schedule
of Classes, but other departments may
ask the registration schedule desk to set
up a CRN for that course number during
the term(s) for which you wish to
register for thesis credit.
These credits may be graded or pass/
no pass. If you and your adviser agree
that the scope of your thesis warrants
additional credit, and your college and
department’s policies allow it, you may
register for additional credits. The
suggested maximum is 6 credits.
Colleges, departments, or advisers may
elect to set different requirements for
thesis credits that meet the needs of their
programs. In this case, the requirements or
preferences of the college/department take
precedence over general International
Degree requirements.
106
Oregon State University
Requirements for the senior thesis
include:
Thesis class: As a part of your program,
you will enroll in the 1-credit class
INTL 407, Seminar: International Issues:
Introduction to Thesis, offered on a
pass/no pass grading basis. The course is
offered twice a year during fall and
winter terms. It is designed to help you
define and focus your areas of interest,
get an overview of research methods,
develop your thesis ideas, identify a
suitable adviser in your major department who will assist you throughout the
process, complete a thesis proposal form,
and develop a realistic and effective
timetable for completion. During this
course, you will receive a copy of the
guide, Preparing a Senior Thesis, and an
Adviser Information Sheet, which will
help you and your adviser as you work
on your thesis. Note: if you are also a
student in the University Honors
College, you may enroll in either the
UHC thesis class or the ID Program’s
thesis class.
Thesis log: The log is a notebook or
journal that chronologically records
progress, frustrations, setbacks, plans,
and attempts. It is valuable to begin
keeping a log to record ideas that
interest you as soon as possible, even if
you do not yet have specific thesis ideas.
As your ideas become more focused, the
log will reflect this. Typical entries might
include notes, questions, “what-if”
discussions, sketches, crude charts, minievaluations, plans for the next day or
week, and tentative or partial calculations, especially in mathematical or
scientific projects. When you receive
feedback from your thesis adviser, record
the information in your log, label it as
“feedback,” and describe in brief
paragraphs how you assimilated the
evaluation into your project.
The log is another component in
meeting the WIC requirement for the
International Degree, and should be a
minimum of 8–10 typewritten pages (or
the equivalent).
Final thesis: This represents polished,
formal writing. Theses average 30–50
pages, but to ensure fulfillment of the
WIC requirement, even a thesis with a
nonverbal component such as art,
music, or photography must include a
minimum of 8–10 pages of formal
writing and place the thesis in the
appropriate historical/cultural context
by incorporating and documenting
outside sources.
• Example: A graphic arts student
who interned in Russia compared
contemporary posters in the U.S.
and Russia, and displayed examples.
He also wrote an analysis of his
findings.
Presentation: When your thesis is
complete, you will make a public
presentation of your work. The format
may vary depending on your topic and
your own preferences, but you will
present your thesis to a group including
your adviser, other interested faculty in
your department, representatives of the
International Degree program, and other
guests whom you may want to invite.
Final copies of the log and thesis must
be turned in to your major department
and the International Degree Office two
weeks prior to the date that grades are
due for graduating seniors for the term
you plan to graduate. This is usually a
week before finals week.
ADDITIONAL COLLEGE AND
DEPARTMENT REQUIREMENTS
Business
The college has set the following
additional requirements for earning an
International Degree in Business.
Students must complete the International Business option.
Health and Human Sciences
As part of the four additional Baccalaureate Core courses required for the Degree,
you must take HDFS 447 Families and
Poverty (Contemporary Global Issues
category).
Foreign Languages and Literatures
To earn the International Degree you
must complete the second foreign
language required of a language major
through the fourth-year level. You must
also spend two 10-week periods abroad;
one in each of the countries where the
two languages you are studying are
spoken. For example, if you are a
German major and have decided to take
Russian as your second foreign language,
you must complete the 400-level Russian
course and study abroad in both
Germany and Russia.
Additionally, you may not complete
major/minor requirements without
taking upper-division courses in the OSU
Foreign Languages Department even if
you complete the hour requirements
abroad.
SCHOLARSHIPS
In support of the overseas learning
experience, the International Degree
Program has limited funds available to
assist students traveling abroad and to
assist with costs associated with research
for your thesis. These are awarded on a
competitive basis. Please talk to the
International Degree office for more
information.
