What is a land-grant university?

Learn during Land-Grant Week

In honor of OSU’s mission to become the nation’s preeminent land-grant university, we’re setting out to help further celebrate Land-Grant Week from Sept. 9-13, filled with photo opportunities, stickers and more information about the mission.

OSU is making education more accessible, digging in and breaking ground in new research, making an impact in our communities 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.

We Are Land-Grant

OSU is more than a university, we are a promise to our students, alumni and the state of Oklahoma. We are driven by our land-grant mission. As Cowboys, we are compelled to inspire others, solve the world’s most complex problems and uplift our communities in the process.
