A key part of our ongoing efforts within the legislative session is to share not only the impact state funding has on the university's efforts, but to show that OSU gives back to Oregon and provides tangible, economic impact.

In FY 2024, the collective economic impact of OSU totaled $3.5 billion. This contribution is a point-in-time snapshot, showcasing how the expenditures of OSU and its employees, students and visitors help fuel the economic vitality of Oregon. 

In addition, the university's annual impact included:

  • 22,000+ jobs created and sustained
  • $258.8 billion in economic impact generated by 132,000+ living alumni

OSU’s student profile included:

  • #1 largest university for Oregon residents
  • 38,125 students from all 50 states and 102 countries
  • 31,969 undergraduate students
  • 6,156 graduate students
  • 24% are first-generation students
  • 18:1 student to teacher ratio
  • 87.8% one-year retention rate
