The Learning Experience

At the College of Business we are committed to student success and excellence in education — and we provide multiple platforms, extensive resources, and ongoing partnerships for students to "learn by doing." Our students enter the workforce understanding that what they do beyond the classroom can make an impact on the world — and that they have the tools to create sustainable, dynamic, innovative, and socially conscious businesses.

Programs and Resources

Exploring the breadth, creativity, and depth of the programs we offer and the resources we've put together for our students begins here. We have built a learning-centered, student-first focused college of business excellence, but the real fun and satification comes when our students find their passions, innovate and grow.

  • The "DAMlab Makerspace" has laser cutters, 3D printers, CAD, CAM and graphic design software, and other design production machines. And — first-year students have 24/7 access to the DAMlab.
  • The Oregon State Investment Group is a student club that manages three portfolios with about $2 million in equity. Students gain practical investment experience with real dollars at stake.
