OSU System Strategic Plan
Answering the Call
A strategic vision for The State’s University
This plan will position OSU as The State’s University and the model land-grant institution over the next five years.
To remain a leader among land-grant institutions, OSU is thinking boldly while staying rooted in education, research and Extension.
At its core, this plan is rooted in OSU’s enduring mission to serve students, strengthen communities, advance research and improve lives across Oklahoma and beyond. It is designed to elevate OSU’s distinct strengths, expand its impact and differentiate the university in an increasingly competitive higher education landscape.
Launched alongside The Code Calls, OSU’s historic $2 billion comprehensive campaign, this strategic plan ensures the university’s momentum is matched by a clear sense of purpose — honoring its land-grant heritage while boldly embracing the opportunities ahead.
