As a public land grant and research university college, the headquarters are located on OSU's main campus in Corvallis, OR, OSU was one of the first universities in the west to adopt a college of agriculture sciences. Established in 1883, the college of agricultural sciences was the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest.[2]
