Oregon State University-Cascades Campus

What is the cost of studying for a year at Oregon State University-Cascades Campus?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at OSU-Cascades was $11,910 for Oregon residents and $35,700 for nonresidents. Required fees were reported separately at $1,656 for either group. Tuition and fees therefore came to approximately $13,566 for a resident or $42,929 for a nonresident before housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Oregon-resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: approximately $13,566 for 2025-26.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition and required fees: approximately $42,929 for 2025-26.
• Reported annual room-and-board charge: $17,205; actual housing and meal choices can cost differently.
• Reported books-and-supplies allowance: $600; course materials vary by program.

Those figures are not a personalized cost-of-attendance estimate. Living at home, renting off campus, or selecting a campus meal plan can change the housing and food portion; transportation and personal expenses also need a place in a budget. Graduate tuition, part-time charges, and future-year rates follow different schedules.

Financial aid can lower the amount a student pays, but aid packages differ. In the reported aid data, 93% of students received some form of financial aid and 32% used student loans. Average net price - the cost remaining after applicable grant and scholarship aid - varied by family-income band; it is not a quoted price for an individual applicant. Eligible students can seek federal grants and loans, Oregon state aid, and OSU scholarships through the relevant aid applications. Veterans and eligible dependents should also check how their education benefits apply to their program and enrollment level.

What are the work-study opportunities at Oregon State University-Cascades Campus?

OSU-Cascades students can look for part-time work and use university career support, but Federal Work-Study is not the same as an ordinary student job. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid award: eligibility is determined through the financial-aid process, and receiving an award does not itself place a student in a position. Wages are earned by working approved hours.

Students can also apply for campus jobs that are not funded by Work-Study and for jobs with outside employers. The source of a job's funding matters because a student without a Work-Study award may still qualify for a regular position. Career support available to undergraduates includes individual and group career planning, résumé preparation, career-interest assessment, and interview preparation. Those services can help with a job or internship search, but they are not verified placement outcomes.
