Top students, top salaries “Want your children to get the best salary possible after graduating in Oregon? Then send them to Oregon State University.” So says the Portland Business Journal following a survey by PayScale, Inc. that found Oregon State alumni earn more at mid-career — $86,000 on average — than graduates of any other college or university in Oregon. Oregon State also attracts more top students. That includes 146 high school valedictorians in 2011, and for the third year in a row, a survey in The Oregonian found Oregon State was the top choice for Portland-area high achievers. Oregon State has several nationally recognized programs, including conservation biology, forestry, wildlife science, agricultural sciences and ecological engineering. We also conduct more research than all other public universities in Oregon combined, $262 million in research funding in 2011. And that includes opportunities for undergraduates. We don’t just allow undergraduates to pursue research projects; we encourage them to.
Great numbers, great futures Oregon State students continue their excellent performance on professional certification exams: 93% of our engineering students pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, compared to the national average of 79%. 92% of our nutrition students pass the American Dietetic Association exam, compared to the national average of 79%. Our exercise science students pass rate on the National Athletic Training Association exam is 29% higher than the national average. More than 97% of our pharmacy students pass the pharmacy exam the first time, ranking Oregon State among the top 20% of all professional programs.
100% of our veterinary medicine students passed the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam. Our accounting students’ pass rate on the Unified Certified Public Accounting Exam is 35% higher than the national average. More than 77% of our pre-medical students were accepted to medical schools including Oregon Health and Sciences University, University of Southern California, University of Michigan, University of Washington, Dartmouth College, University of Wisconsin and others.
Visit campus! Nothing beats a campus visit to see for yourself all that Oregon State has to offer. For prospective students and their families, we offer 50-minute guided walking tours of campus led by our student ambassadors. Tours are available Monday through Friday beginning at 9 a.m. with the last tour starting at 4 p.m. Personalized tours can be scheduled in advance for prospective students who wish to learn more about a particular college or about academic resources at Oregon State.

Impact 2012 Oregon’s Leading Public Research University Oregon State University continues to conduct more research than all other public universities in the state combined, and that includes opportunities for undergraduate research. Research funding at Oregon State has doubled over the past decade.
Oregon State’s research programs are far ranging — both in their breadth and in their physical locations across Oregon and worldwide. Oregon State is among the nation’s leading research institutions in fields such as:
Marine Sciences
Climate Change
Forestry Sustainable Food
Nuclear Engineering
Wave Energy
$262 million in research funding was awarded to the university in 2011 — more than all other Oregon public universities combined. Oregon State research helps launch new businesses that create jobs, improve public health and ensure the wise use and protection of natural resources.
Our Impact by the Numbers
$2 billion is the university’s combined economic impact in 2011 through education, research and community outreach programs that extend across all of Oregon’s 36 counties, the nation and the world.
160,000 alumni contribute to economic growth and quality of life in their careers and in their communities. The median annual income of Oregon State graduates is between $60,000 and $80,000, 50 percent greater than the median income nationwide. And nearly 40 percent of our alumni volunteer more than 10 times a year. oregonstate.edu

John Bennes designed this building, which was constructed in 1918 as the college library. In 1954 the library was named the Kerr Library, in memory of William Jasper Kerr, OAC president from 1907 to 1932. After a new library was built in 1963, the building was named Kidder Hall for Ida Kidder, OAC librarian from 1908 to 1920. Kidder Hall was the home of the University Archives from 1963 to 1972, and today it houses the College of Science dean's office, the mathematics and and statistics' departments and part of Media Services.

14 Pharmacy Building 1601 SW Jefferson Avenue Yet another Bennes design, this building was constructed in 1924 and has always been used exclusively by the College of Pharmacy. The second floor included a model drug store, which was described in a pharmacy trade magazine of the time as providing "a laboratory for instruction in store arrangement, showcase and window decorating and practical salesmanship of drugs and druggists' sundries." Valley Gymnastics Center 1701 SW Jefferson Avenue Built in 1898 as the college gymnasium and armory, it was the first of two buildings designed by Portland architect Edgar M. Lazarus. It served as the college armory until 1910; the men's and women's gym from 1899 to 1914; the women's gym from 1914 to 1926; the rehearsal hall for the cadet band and symphonic orchestra; and it was used for commencement from 1899 to 1910. It later housed the Horner Museum (1936-1950) and the college theater (Mitchell Playhouse, 1951-1990). Women's Building 160 SW 26th Street This Italian Renaissance building, constructed in 1926 as the women's gymnasium, was designed by John Bennes and is considered one of his grandest structures on campus. The brick used in its construction was fired in Monroe. The building includes a 30'x70' swimming pool and a lounge and assembly room containing a large fireplace. It currently houses the dean's office, faculty offices and classrooms for the College of Public Health and Human Sciences. Fairbanks Hall 180 SW 26th Street Built in 1892 as a dormitory for men, it was originally known as Cauthorn Hall and named for state Senator and OAC regent Thomas Cauthorn. It was designed by architect W.D. Pugh in an architectural style that has been characterized as eclectic. The dorm could accommodate more than 100 students and included water, steam heat, electric lights, dining room and kitchen. In the early 1900s, John Horner (for whom the Horner Museum was named) and his wife served as dorm parents. From about 1915 until 1931, the building was used as a women's dorm, and by 1927, it was known as Kidder Hall in memory of Ida Kidder, the university's first professional librarian. Weatherford Hall 300 SW 26th Street John Bennes designed this beautiful building, which was built in 1928 (in just six months)
as the Men's Dormitory. It was actually a complex of five halls linked together, and accommodated up to 344 men. Originally just the center tower portion was named Weatherford Hall (for James K. Weatherford, an alumnus and long-time OAC regent (1885-1929). In 1957 the entire building became known as Weatherford Hall. A dining hall was added in 1957, and demolished as part of the building's extensive renovation in 2004. Weatherford Hall is home to the Austin Entrepreneurship Program. Milam Hall 2520 SW Campus Way One of Bennes' early buildings, its first unit was constructed in 1914 for the School of Domestic Science, which later became the School of Home Economics. Additions to the building were built in 1920 and 1952. In 1976, it was named for Ava Milam, the long-time dean of home economics (1917-1950). Today the Milam Hall houses programs for the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Public Health and Human Sciences.
building since then. In 1973, it was named for W. W. Moreland, a faculty member in the 1800s and clerk of the state legislature. He was credited with urging the legislature to accept the conditions of the Morrill Act, which led to the designation of Corvallis College as the state's land grant institution. Langton Hall 2450 Jefferson Way Another Bennes-designed building, it was built in 1915 as the Men's Gymnasium. The pool was added in 1920; at 33 yards long, it was one of the largest collegiate pools in the nation. In front of the building is The Runner, a 1920 bronze sculpture that was one of the first pieces of artwork on campus. The build-

15 building. Alpha Hall (built 1889) originally occupied this site. It was renamed Gilkey Hall in 2001 for Gordon Gilkey, first dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Shepard Hall 2001 SW Campus Way
ing was used for men's basketball games and commencement until Gill Coliseum opened in 1950. Today it houses the offices for Intramural Sports, and the Department of Exercise and Sport Science, and it is used for physical education classes. The building was named in the early 1970s for Claire V. Langton, head of health and physical education from 1928 to 1964. Bexell Hall 2251 SW Campus Way John Bennes designed the building, which was constructed in 1922 as the Commerce Building. It has housed the College of Business and its predecessors, since its construction. The building also housed the president's offices from 1923 to 1972. In 1966, it was named for John A. Bexell, founder and head of the OAC School of Commerce from 1908 to 1931. Gilkey Hall 122 SW Waldo Place Another Bennes-designed building, it was constructed in 1912 as the Dairy Building. It has been used by the College of Liberal Arts for several decades. When Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist Bernard Malamud was on the Oregon State faculty in the late 1940s and 1950s, he taught English classes in this
Shepard Hall was constructed in 1908 as the YMCA/YWCA as well as a space for student activities. It was not an official campus building. It was designed by a Portland architect named McNaughton and named for Claiborne L. Shepard, OAC's YMCA general secretary from 1905-06. The building was used as a hospital during the flu epidemic of 1918-19; in January 1919 26 students and townspeople occupied rooms on the second floor. In 1940, Oregon State purchased the building, which has housed the Department of Speech Communication since then. Waldo Hall 2250 SW Jefferson Way Designed by Charles H. Burggraff, Waldo Hall was completed in 1907 as a women's dormitory. It originally contained 115 rooms and could accommodate up to 300 women. When it opened, room and board was $3.50 a week. The building also included domestic science labs and classrooms, and faculty women were allowed to live in Waldo until 1912. It was named in honor of Dr. Clara Humason Waldo, an OAC regent from 1905 to 1919. Goss Stadium at Coleman Field and site of Bell Field 430 SW Langton Place Oregon State has played baseball on the same site since 1907, when it began playing organized collegiate baseball. It is the oldest college/university baseball diamond in PAC-12 and one of the oldest in the United States. It was renamed Goss Stadium at Coleman Field in 1998 when a new grandstand and press box were constructed with funds donated by alumni John and Eline Goss of
Portland. Ralph Coleman was a long-time baseball coach at Oregon State. Women's Center 1700 SW Pioneer Place The Station Building, known today as the Women's Center, was constructed in 1892 for the Agricultural Experiment Station, and contained a chemistry lab in the basement. The structure combines Queen Anne and Gothic Revival influences, and apart from an addition constructed in 1920, looks much the same as it did more than 100 years ago. It has also served as chemistry and paleontology labs, the bookstore and the student health center. Joyce Collin Furman Hall 200 SW 15th Street Joyce Collin Furman Hall was built in 1902 as Agriculture Hall. It was designed by Charles H. Burggraf of Albany. The Oregon gray granite on the lower facade was quarried in the Cascades. By 1909, the building became known as Science Hall. In the late 1910s and early 1920s, Linus Pauling, (a 1922 OAC graduate and two-time Nobel Prize winner), took classes and labs and also taught classes in the building. It was damaged by fire in 1924 and 1927 and remodeled in 1939-40 as Education Hall; the College of Education has occupied it since then. The building was extensively renovated in 2011-12 and renamed Joyce Collin Furman Hall. McAlexander Fieldhouse and Heating Plant 2201 SW Washington Way This Bennes design was constructed in 1909-1910 as the Armory; the back portion served as the college's heating plant. Today it houses the Army and Air Force ROTC offices, and the main interior area is used by Recreational Sports. The old heating plant area is now the rifle range. It is named for Ulysses Grant McAlexander, commandant of cadets from 1907 to 1911 and 1915 to 1917.

Sustainability Tour green renovation and
green BUilding: Kearney Hall
Originally built in 1899, Apperson Hall was remodeled and renamed Kearney Hall in 2009. Home to the civil engineering and construction engineering management programs, Kearney Hall received a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. Special green features include an interactive computer displaying real-time energy use of the building, upgraded thermal insulation, energy-efficient lighting and limited finishes on flooring, ceilings and walls.
enHanCing green spaCe: people’s parK
The first People’s Park at Oregon State was an open space created in 1972 to honor student activists. The new park space continues these strong social and environmental
connections. It offers a quiet, contemplative space, supports diverse species of plants and animals (including pollinators and beneficial insects) and introduces visitors to plants and materials that have a minimal lifecycle impact on the earth. Additionally, the space is be used for periodic art exhibits, such as the current Wild Willow stick sculpture by artist Patrick Dougherty.
green BUilding:
Kelley engineering Center
Kelley Engineering Center was the first academic building in the country to be certified LEED Gold. Natural light reduces energy costs by up to 40 percent, while a 16,500-gallon rainwater collection system provides water throughout the building. A rooftop solar system provides energy for electricity and hot water, and air circulation systems reduce heating and cooling costs.

stormWater management
and stream restoration: BiosWale BeHind reser stadiUm, along oaK CreeK
Impermeable surfaces often increase volume and decrease quality of stormwater flowing into streams. Just south of the Reser Stadium parking lot, a bioswale is used for stormwater management. In the swale’s gently sloping vegetated ditch, runoff is slowed and cleaned by biological methods, and silt settles out. Piping runoff to the swale from the paved lot minimizes surges in Oak Creek during storm events, releasing it slowly to the creek as it would in an undisturbed setting.
UrBan HortiCUltUre and restoration: oaK CreeK Center For UrBan HortiCUltUre
The varied activities at the Oak Creek Center include producing organic food and hosting a community garden. Food grown in the community garden is donated to the LinnBenton Food Share. Students and faculty are investigating how vegetated green roofs can provide ecosystem services such as stormwater mitigation and biodiversity, designing innovative urban landscapes and helping to restore the ecological functions of Oak Creek.

Academic Life Academics at Oregon State is about exploring interests, discovering strengths and achieving goals — in the classroom and in the world. Students can choose from multiple opportunities to supplement coursework with hands-on, experiential learning, including: University Honors College
Internships
One of a handful of degree-granting honors colleges in the U.S., the UHC is both challenging and rewarding. The UHC offers small classes with Oregon State’s top professors, outstanding research opportunities and a collaborative, supportive community that encourages curiosity and values creativity.
Internships offer the chance to see how classroom learning works out in the real world. Students can complete an internship at any time during the academic year or over the summer. Student interns gain valuable, onthe-job experience and professional contacts that can provide a head start on their careers.
Undergraduate Research
International Programs
Each year, more than 2,000 Oregon State undergraduates work on cutting-edge research projects ranging from alternative energy to public health to climate change (we have research centers in all of these areas, among others). Students can make real contributions to faculty research or start a project of their own.
International programs give students the chance to explore the world — and give their education a global perspective. In addition to study abroad, international research and internship opportunities, Oregon State offers a unique International Degree, where students earn a second bachelor’s degree in international studies.

Academics at Oregon State, which are often interdisciplinary across colleges and departments, encompass several themes: Arts and Social Sciences
Creative thinkers and problem solvers make the world a much more interesting place, enhance quality of life and add value to businesses. Oregon State’s liberal arts curriculum emphasizes creativity while building critical thinking, communication and life skills. Degree programs are offered in the colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Forestry, Liberal Arts and Public Health and Human Sciences. In addition, Oregon State's innovative 3+3 partnership with Willamette University's College of Law offers a pathway to earn an undergraduate and a law degree in six years. Business
The business curriculum at Oregon State emphasizes innovation, realworld experience and corporate citizenship, recognizing that a sound reputation can be as important as profit and loss to a company’s success. We also offer programs in family business and a unique live-in entrepreneurship and business incubator where many students start their own companies. Degree programs are offered in the colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Business, Engineering, Forestry, Liberal Arts and Public Health and Human Sciences. Engineering
Engineers are involved in the design and manufacturing of the things people use every day. And engineering programs at Oregon State offer virtually unlimited opportunities to put ideas and innovation to work, creating something new or making something better. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, and
more than 80 percent of engineering students complete at least one internship. Degree programs are offered in the colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Business, Engineering, Forestry, Liberal Arts and Science. Health and Wellness
Quality of life includes many dimensions, and Oregon State covers them all. With programs in science, public health and human sciences, nutrition, pre-health areas, pharmacy and veterinary medicine, Oregon State promotes healthy living across the lifespan, disease prevention and a safe, nutritious food supply.

Oregon State has 17 teams in 13 sports that compete in NCAA Division I within the Pac-12 Conference. Several Oregon State teams have delivered standout performances in recent seasons.
Sports photography courtesy of the Corvallis Gazette-Times.
In 2011, the women’s gymnastics team won the Pac-12 championship and competed at the NCAA Championships. Four women advanced to individual finals in their events, and the team’s uneven bars lineup ranked No. 1 in the nation. The Oregon State baseball team won back-to-back NCAA championships in 2006 and 2007, and is has won the conference championship 22 times. The women’s softball team is one of just 11 teams to win 28 straight games in NCAA history with their 2006 streak, the longest winning streak in Beaver athletics history. Naturally, football brings out the biggest crowds in Beaver Nation. Students get front-row seats at Reser Stadium — Oregon State reserves seating for students directly behind the team bench from goal line to goal line. Tailgating is a long-standing tradition, as is wearing Oregon State gear every Friday.
The game of the regular season is always a big one: the Civil War against the University of Oregon Ducks. First played in 1894, it is college football’s seventh-oldest rivalry, and in recent years post-season bowl game berths have been riding on the outcome. This famous rivalry brought ESPN’s College GameDay to Corvallis for the 2010 Civil War, with the two schools’ mascots competing for the crowd’s support alongside GameDay anchors leading up to the game. Under new coaches, Oregon State’s basketball teams have worked to make an impressive comeback within the Pac-12. Coached by Craig Robinson, the men’s basketball team is ranked 20th in the nation for the most total victories in NCAA Division I men’s college basketball. The women’s basketball team finished the 2011 season with 20 wins and achieved several Pac-12 honors, including the record for the player with the most blocked shots in a single season. oregonstate.edu

Notable Oregon State Alumni Oregon State’s enduring legacy is the alumni who go on to make a positive difference in their careers, their communities and beyond. Our 160,000 alumni do well, earning an average of $86,900 at mid-career, higher than graduates from any other school in Oregon. And do good things, with nearly 40 percent volunteering in their communities more than 10 times a year.
Some of the more notable Beaver alumni include: L inus Pauling ’22 is the only recipient of two unshared Nobel prizes — for chemistry in 1954 and peace in 1962. Pauling’s research on micronutrients and human health continues at the Linus Pauling Institute, which is located in the university’s new science building that also bears his name. Douglas Engelbart ’48 helped shape the way people use technology, inventing the computer mouse and developing the concept of email. Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury led the Beavers to Omaha in 2005, laying the foundation for the Beavers to win back-to-back College World Series championships in 2006 and 2007. Jen-Hsun Huang ’84 is co-founder, president and CEO of NVIDIA, whose graphics processors can be found in everything from cell phones to NASA workstations. Harley Jessup ’76 is an OscarEmmy-and Annie-(for animation) winning artist whose movie credits include Ratatouille, Monsters, Inc., The Hunt for Red October, Innerspace and James and the Giant Peach. Bernie Newcomb ’65 cofounded E*Trade, one of the first Internet stock-trading companies. Chris Johns ’75 and Dennis Dimick ’73 share stories from around the world as editor and executive editor, respectively, of National Geographic.
Terry Baker ’63 won the Heisman Trophy in 1962 and is a Portland attorney today. Donald Pettit ’78 and William Oefelein ’88 are NASA astronauts. Pettit, a chemical engineer, spent six months aboard the International Space Station. Oefelein piloted the STS-116 space shuttle mission. Ariko Iso ’93 was the first — and so far only — female athletic trainer in the NFL. After nine years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, she returned to Oregon State in 2011, where she is head trainer for the Beavers. Tim Leatherman ’70 invented the versatile Leatherman line of multitools and knives. Nabilah Al-Tunisi ’82 is the head engineer for a $25 billion refinery and petrochemical plant in the Persian Gulf for Saudi Aramco, the world’s largest oil company. Mike Rich ’82 is the screenwriter behind movies including Secretariat, Radio and Finding Forrester. John Young ’53 was president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard from 1978 to 1992. Gail Kimbell ’82 was the first woman to head the U.S. Forest Service. Leonard Shoen ’43 founded the U-Haul Company in 1945. Darlene Hooley ’61 served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1997 to 2009.
