About
Why Portland State University?
Portland State University has been emboldening students and challenging the status quo in Portland for 75 years. From our founding to serve veterans home from World War II, we have been committed to meeting the needs of individual students and society as a whole.
We first opened in 1946 as the Vanport Extension Center for 220 students in Vanport, a city built to house wartime shipyard workers. After surviving a devastating flood in 1948, we moved three times before finding our permanent home in 1952 in the heart of downtown Portland, Oregon.
Portland State University is more than Portland's public research university. It's a place to test ideas and projects that show the world how different is done. Our innovative approach combines education with creative problem-solving and collaboration across campus for maximum impact. With more than 200 degree programs to choose from, PSU is Oregon's most diverse, innovative and affordable research university.
PSU is the No. 1 school in Oregon for social mobility, according to U.S. News & World Report. That means we graduate the most economically disadvantaged students who receive federal Pell Grants. This ranking confirms our commitment to providing access and excellent education to students from all backgrounds.
