Prosperity Widely Shared: The Oregon State Plan
The OSU Board of Trustees has approved the university’s latest strategic plan, Prosperity Widely Shared: The Oregon State Plan. Ambitious and intensely focused, it will guide OSU from 2024 through 2030.
The strategic plan includes three interdependent goals. Oregon State will be:
- A university focused on big discoveries that drive big solutions.
- A university where every student graduates.
- A university that fuels a thriving world.
To achieve these goals, Oregon State has identified five targets:
- Increase annual research expenditures to $600 million. Last fiscal year, the university set a record with $367 million in research expenditures, a 23% increase over the previous year. Research expenditures have risen in 19 of the past 21 years.
- Increase the six-year graduation rate to 80%. Oregon State’s latest six-year graduation rate is 70%.
- Equalize six-year graduation rates. Current rates vary widely across students’ gender, ethnic group and financial need.
- Increase online-only enrollment to 30,000, more than double the current enrollment in Ecampus.
- Increase enrollment at OSU-Cascades to 2,200. In fall 2022, the Bend campus enrolled 1,271 students, which included a 16.6% increase in first-year students from a year earlier.
“This strategic plan rests on a vision for widely shared, environmentally sustainable prosperity in Oregon, the nation, and the world, with our role as a top-flight research university as a driver toward that vision.”
— Edward Feser, Provost and Executive Vice President
