Figures on this page come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data. This school has not been individually reviewed, so there is no ranking, aid-policy, or GPA guidance below.
What it may cost by family income
Estimated average net price — what families actually pay after grants and scholarships — by annual household income. Net price matters far more than the $53,588 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.
| Household income | Est. net price / year |
|---|---|
| Under $30k | $11,497 |
| $30k–$48k | $11,716 |
| $48k–$75k | $16,694 |
| $75k–$110k | $20,055 |
| Over $110k | $24,478 |
Sticker cost of attendance: $53,588 (out-of-state) · $29,798 in-state.
What the whole degree costs
Every cost figure above is one year. A bachelor's degree is four — sometimes five. Today's-prices makes no assumptions; the second column assumes prices rise ~3.5% a year, in line with recent averages.
| Household income | 4 yrs, today's prices | 4 yrs with increases |
|---|---|---|
| Under $30k | $45,988 | $48,459 |
| $30k–$48k | $46,864 | $49,382 |
| $48k–$75k | $66,776 | $70,364 |
| $75k–$110k | $80,220 | $84,531 |
| Over $110k | $97,912 | $103,173 |
56% of students here graduate within six years. If the degree takes a fifth year, budget roughly one more year at the prices above — ask the school what share of students finish in four.
First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask Oregon State University-Cascades Campus how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.
Applying to a specific major at Oregon State University-Cascades Campus
63% is the acceptance rate for the whole university — not for every major. For the programs below, admission is usually decided separately and is harder than that number suggests. Almost no university publishes a by-major admission rate, and neither does the federal government, so we do not show one: any site that does is estimating.
To find the real figure for your major, check Oregon State University-Cascades Campus's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.
At Oregon State University-Cascades Campus: 35 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $73,446 median earnings (Computer Science.)
Applicant demand has grown far faster than faculty and seats, so many universities cap CS enrollment, admit to it directly, or require a competitive internal application after enrolling.
Check: Whether the school admits to CS directly, and whether switching into CS later is restricted — the answer changes your real odds more than your test scores do.
At Oregon State University-Cascades Campus: 10 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $62,863 median earnings (Mechanical Engineering.)
Most engineering colleges admit students directly into the college rather than the university at large, and review them against a separate, usually more selective pool.
Check: Whether you apply to the engineering college directly, and what happens if you are not admitted — some schools offer general admission with a later transfer path, others do not.
At Oregon State University-Cascades Campus: 16 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $47,260 median earnings (Business Administration, Management and Operations.)
Many undergraduate business schools admit their own cohort at application time and are more selective than the university overall; others admit only after two years of coursework.
Check: Whether the business school is direct-admit for first-years, and if not, what GPA the internal application actually requires.
Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at Oregon State University-Cascades Campus in nursing, architecture or visual & performing arts, so those are not listed above. Small or new programs can be missing from federal reporting — confirm with the school before ruling one out.
