OSU students now have access to take psychology courses in Portland at the OSU Portland Center.
Oregon State University psychology undergraduates can blend online learning with face-to-face sessions at Pioneer Square.
The Portland Hybrid Psychology Program caters to transfer students or students who have already completed their general psychology and survey courses. The program is designed to provide the support and guidance of meeting with instructors in-person, and the flexibility of completing coursework on your own schedule.
Hybrid courses take advantage of the best features of both face-to-face and online learning by replacing some face-to-face time with online learning activities. For classes in the Portland Center, students can expect to attend classes one day a week and complete the rest of their coursework online.

Interested in participating in the Portland Hybrid Psychology Program?
The Portland Center is located at 555 SW Morrison Street in downtown Portland in the old Meier & Frank building. More information on the Center’s location, where to park, how to access the building, and other questions can be found on the Portland Center website at: https://portland.oregonstate.edu/osu-portland-center-faculty-staff-and-student-resource-guide
Not all courses needed for a BA/BS in Psychology are currently offered in the Portland Center. Courses that are offered in Portland are carefully selected to enable students to connect with instructors on topics that are more intensive, like statistics, research methods, and the writing course. The rest of the courses needed for a psychology degree are fully online through OSU's nationally ranked Ecampus program.
Hybrid courses in Business Administration and Human Development and Family Sciences (HDFS) are also offered in the Portland Center. After you complete College, University and Psychology requirements, you may have credits left over to complete minors in Business Administration or HDFS.
For students transferring from Portland Community College (PCC), Clackamas Community College (CCC), or Mt Hood Community College (MHCC), we have created 2+2 Transfer Plans to give you an idea of what classes can transfer between your CC and OSU. Students transferring from other Oregon community colleges or schools should check-out the course articulations at: https://admissions.oregonstate.edu/course-articulations.
