What is a land-grant university?

Impacting the state through education
The mission of land-grant institutions is to provide instruction, research and then extend that knowledge to the state and beyond. For OSU, that means helping Oklahoma by educating qualified graduates with the attributes and skills necessary to be successful and drive the state’s economy.
OSU is making education and research more accessible, making an impact in our state and throughout the world. At our core, that is our highest calling, using education to change the lives of current and future generations, and each institution at OSU is vital to that mission.
