Many future students say their campus tour was the #1 deciding factor in choosing OSU to pursue their science or mathematics degree.

On the College of Science tour, you’ll see what makes science and mathematics better at OSU — and why so many Beavs decide to make Corvallis their home away from home!

We'll visit labs, lecture halls, research facilities and more as you take in OSU's amazing campus and meet our Team Science community.

Fun fact: Nearly 90% of attendees rated their College of Science tour as exceptional.

“It sounds cheesy, but when I stepped on Oregon State University’s campus, it was just magical.

— Simone B. (Integrative Biology, ’21)
