Goal 2: Transformative education accessible to all learners

Our aim

Expand OSU’s reach into all Oregon communities by delivering and creating access to distinctive and affordable education via multiple pathways. Remove barriers and engage people where ever and whenever they wish to learn, preparing everyone in Oregon for college access, successful careers and lifelong learning.

We strive to reach all audiences, and close gaps in access to learning.

Our strategies

Delivering distinctive and affordable education via many pathways

We strive to be accessible to all people, and meet them where they are, including place-based and on-demand options.

Integrating research and experiential learning

We focus on pre-college and post-college audiences ("from K to gray") and leverage industry and community connections to help Oregonians improve their lives and livelihoods.

Reducing barriers and reaching underrepresented audiences

We design content, programs and experiences to reach remote and urban communities and people with diverse learning styles to provide more access to learning. We prioritize culturally-relevant approaches.
