History

Oregon State University first offered college-level coursework in liberal arts as early as 1865. Since then, the university has provided students with a wide range of liberal arts courses and degrees.

The university's campus newspaper was first established in 1896 as the "Beaver". In 1919, the name was changed to the "College Barometer". Journalism courses were first offered as early as 1913. The first school established in a liberal art was the department of music in 1901. The school opened under the management of Gerard Taillandier, an acclaimed organist from Oakland, California Within two years the department of art was added, chaired by professor Farley McLouth.

Starting in the early 1900s, however, advancements developed during the recent American Industrial Revolution introduced students to new career opportunities in the sciences and technology. According to college records, a reduced interest by students and a new state policy requiring the university to focus curricula on the sciences and technology forced administrators to de-emphasize liberal arts majors in 1914 and over the subsequent four decades. Still, courses in the liberal arts remained an important part of the required core for all majors and were offered as popular electives and select majors throughout this period. The departments of music and art were two departments that persisted over this period. Several early programs in liberal arts were offered through the college of agriculture, but most were grouped under an independent department known as the division of service, in 1919, and the school of basic arts and sciences after 1922. In 1918, the university created a department for industrial journalism. Early journalism students were often assigned to staff the university's statewide agricultural extension bulletins as part of their coursework. The newly created industrial journalism department was first chaired by Frank L. Snow. Over the next three years, the campus paper transitioned from a weekly to a weekday paper and took its current name, "The Daily Barometer." Charles B. Mitchel, a first-year speech professor at OSU, created the speech and theatre departments in 1920. He was also instrumental in bringing Oregon's first public radio station, KFDJ (AM), to the campus. OSU physics instructor Jacob Jordan is credited with building the station's first transmitter in 1923. Journalism student, and later famous WWII correspondent, Webley Edwards served as the first station manager. The call letters were changed to KOAC (AM) in 1925.

Higher education budget shortfalls, created by the Great Depression, reinforced the state's need to reduce OSU's liberal arts programs once again. As a result, the department of industrial journalism was closed in the early 1930s. However, general courses in journalism were still offered at the university through the 1960s. During World War II, majors in liberal arts began to grow in popularity again, as many agriculture and engineering students left college to serve in the military. After the war, returning veterans made up a substantial segment of OSU's student body. Increasingly, these returning students sought degrees in the growing number of liberal art professions.

Television was added to KOAC's programming in 1957 and broadcast studios were constructed on campus, inside Gill Coliseum. The studios were used to broadcast extension courses throughout the state - known as the "School of the Air". Faculty and student participation in KOAC's statewide radio and television broadcasts later spawned a broadcast communications program at OSU, which included its own campus radio and TV stations (1965).

In 1959, then university president A. L. Strand created the first divisional majors in humanities and social sciences. The two divisional majors were combined into a formal school in 1961. Meanwhile, student interest in the liberal arts continued to grow throughout the '60s, as the number of programs and the size of the school expanded. In 1965, the department of English became a formal department at OSU. A year later economics, history, political science and Russian studies were also added as formal departments with bachelor's degree programs. An anthropology department and new technical journalism department were created under the school of humanities and social sciences in 1969. All liberal arts majors were then formalized under a college of liberal arts in 1973. Gordon Gilkey served as the first dean of the college.

In 1971, KOAC became the headquarters for the Oregon Educational and Public Broadcasting Service and then the state's National Public Radio affiliate (1979-1981). Head of the broadcast media communications department, Richard Weinman, was hired as a regular host and contributor for KOAC's statewide newscasts (1970s-1990s). In 1981, Oregon Public Broadcasting was created and the headquarters for the state radio and TV network were relocated from the Corvallis campus to Portland. However, the station remained an important part of the OPB radio network through its closure in 2009 and received two Peabody Awards over its life. The campus radio and TV stations (KBVR), and the campus newspaper continue as student-run programs but now operate as purely extra-curricular organizations under the umbrella of the campus's Orange Media Network.

The first graduate degrees were offered by the college's scientific and technical communications school in 1988. However, doctorates in philosophy and other liberal arts were first offered through the university as early as the 1930s, before being incorporated into the college.

Today, the college of liberal arts makes up one of the largest colleges on campus and claims a number of notable alumni and faculty.

Academics

Oregon State University's College of Liberal Arts offers a wide range of majors, minors, and concentrations within its seven schools. In 2022, the college offered over 66 academic programs across four campuses. U.S. News & World Report ranked the psychological science school's online program first in the nation for 2023. The psychological science school is now the third largest on campus, claiming five percent of the university's total undergraduate enrollment (2023). Over the last seven years, U.S. News & World Report also ranked OSU's Ecampus in the top 10 in the nation for online bachelor's programs, of which, nearly a quarter of those online classes are offered through the college of liberal arts. OSU's Ecampus public policy masters program ranked fourth best in the nation by onlinemastersdegrees.org in 2023.

U.S. News & World Report ranked several college of liberal arts schools as a combined 226th amongst global universities in 2021. U.S. News & World Report no longer provides rankings for all majors offered within a college of liberal arts at "global" universities. Instead, the ranking publication only ranks a select number of "social science and public health" majors offered within these colleges. The most common majors used in their rankings were limited to criminology and criminal justice, English, history, political science, and sociology. In 2021, the college of liberal arts at OSU included seven departments and over 20 majors.

Budget cuts

In 1990, Oregon voters passed the historic property-tax-reducing Ballot Measure 5. Passage of the new law dramatically changed Oregon's property taxes, greatly reduced funding for many K-12 schools, and helped to eliminate several popular programs at the Oregon State University College of Liberal Arts. Following passage of the measure, specific schools in the college of liberal arts were targeted for elimination.

Unrelated to passage of the measure, the University of Oregon's board of regents had a long, unsuccessful history of asking the Oregon State Board of Higher Education to eliminate OSU's technical journalism and broadcast media communications programs. The UO board believed they were "duplicative" of programs offered by their own university and made the request numerous times over the previous 70 years. Despite the pressure and claims, the faculty at the college of liberal arts was successful in maintaining both programs for decades, by ensuring their curriculums were distinct and missions uniquely different from similar programs offered by the University of Oregon. However, the 1991 state-wide budget cuts from passage of Measure 5 gave the board of higher education an opportunity to eliminate both programs, along with religious studies, while also satisfying the UO board of regents. Due to the Oregon State Board of Higher Education's new budgeting, the university's general fund appropriations fell from $117 million in fiscal 1992/93 to $101.2 million for the 1993/94 fiscal year. At the time the technical journalism program was eliminated, it was recognized as the fastest growing school on campus.

Since 2018, the college of liberal arts has offered a minor in applied journalism. The new digital communications arts major is also helping to fill the hole created by the loss of the technical journalism and broadcast media communications programs by introducing media students to the latest news and broadcasting software and technologies. The religious studies major was reinstated in 2018.

Expansion

The college of liberal arts inherited a new, $75-million-dollar, center for the creative arts in 2024. The new addition is named after donor, Patricia Valian Reser, and is located on campus at the corner of 15th and Washington Way.

According to the school of visual, performing and design arts, the 500-seat Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx) serves as a performance center for all Oregonians and, more specifically, public school systems. One of the main goals of the center is to share art with students living throughout the state when visiting campus.

The center features a large stage to accommodate a range of performances, including everything from solo performances to concerts with 100-person choruses. Backstage and support areas will provide space for teaching, rehearsal and performance. Art gallery space features secure, dramatically lit spaces with appropriate climate control for displaying OSU's art collections and other cutting-edge art shows.
