YOUR 1ST YEAR

THE PATH TO A BETTER WORLD STARTS HERE.

During your first year at Oregon State, you’ll build a 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 — along with
some beginning courses in your particular areas of interest. You can also choose
from first-year experience and weekend courses that take you to the Oregon Coast.

LAUNCH A REWARDING CAREER IN
VIRTUALLY ANY DIRECTION.

You can incorporate your love for the ocean into just about any career, whether
you’re studying engineering, anthropology, digital communication, marine biology,
animal sciences, education, earth sciences and much more. Plus, the growth of the
“blue” economy — with its focus on sustainable use of ocean resources — means
expanding job opportunities. And since the ocean and its influence is truly global,
you can work in the United States and abroad, in a federal, state or local government
agency, a university, nonprofit or other community organization.
