Prospective Graduate Students

At Oregon State University's College of Engineering, we're looking for stand-out graduate students who want to do cutting-edge, hands-on research; work closely with extraordinary professors; collaborate with other students and industry partners; and experience living in Oregon - one of the most beautiful states in the U.S. As we build a top engineering program here at Oregon State, we're recruiting creative graduate students who possess a passion for learning, living, thinking, and helping build a better world. Come check us out! We're all about people, ideas, innovation... and a great place to live!

Also, the OSU College of Engineering is pleased to offer a unique, new Master of Engineering (MEng) degree, which provides students the option of obtaining a master’s-level degree, but without the research component requirement associated with our traditional master’s degree (MS).

"For graduate school, OSU is great. A new grad student here can be in the clean room doing research right from the get go. You have a lot of control and latitude with your research. At other universities, like Berkeley or Stanford, you can be there for a year or two before you get anywhere near a clean room, and even then you're limited on what you get to do. OSU is very different from that. It's a lot more hands-on and there is a lot more collaboration with industry on research projects."
