Oregon State University Cascades Campus

Oregon State University-Cascades is located in Bend, Oregon, situated in the high desert region of central Oregon near the Cascade Mountain Range. The campus, established in 2001 as a branch location of Oregon State University, occupies a 128-acre site that combines modern academic facilities with the natural landscape of juniper trees and lava rock formations. The university maintains a focus on STEM fields, particularly computer science, engineering, and natural resources, while also offering programs in business, hospitality management, and health sciences. OSU-Cascades features on-campus residence halls and operates as a four-year undergraduate institution with select graduate programs, serving primarily the central Oregon region. The campus setting provides direct access to outdoor recreation opportunities, including skiing at Mt. Bachelor and mountain biking on nearby trails, which complement the university's outdoor-focused academic programs.
