YOUR 1ST YEAR

START DOWN THE PATH TO A

BRIGHTER FUTURE.

During your first year at Oregon State, you’ll build
the foundation for a well-rounded education. You’ll
develop your critical thinking, communication
and problem-solving skills through courses from
Oregon State’s Baccalaureate Core — the physical
and biological sciences, mathematics, writing,
fitness, cultural diversity and first-year orientation
— along with some beginning courses in your
particular area of interest.
To make sure you get off to a good start and stay
on course for graduation, you should meet with an
advisor as you plan your first-year program — and
at regular intervals after that.
