Since 2014 PSU is the only university in Oregon to offer a Four-Year Degree Guarantee which promises that full-time freshmen who sign up for the guarantee will get the support and courses they need to graduate in four years — or PSU will not charge tuition for any remaining courses. PSU was founded in 1946 to meet the needs of GI’s returning from World War II. U.S. News & World Report recently awarded PSU among the Top 20 Most Innovative Schools in the county.
