During these uncertain times, the university urges that students prepare a backup academic plan. Work with their Education Abroad Advisor to figure out how to schedule this, as they'll also need to enrol in Placeholder Courses during the semester abroad. To enrol in both, students will need to be approved for an overload until a final choice is made, and then make sure the courses they won't need, are dropped.

History, Affiliations and Rankings

For 75 years, Portland State University has empowered students and challenged the status quo in Portland. They have been dedicated to fulfilling the needs of individual students and society as a whole since their foundation to serve World War II veterans returning home. They began in 1946 as the Vanport Extension Centre, which served 220 students in Vanport, a city constructed to house wartime shipyard employees. They relocated three times after surviving a disastrous flood in 1948 before locating their permanent home in 1952 in the centre of downtown Portland, Oregon. The university is academically affiliated with Great Cities' Universities (GCU), Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU) and Space-grant. Portland State University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). Portland State University secured the ranking of #1001-1200 in the QS World University Rankings. U.S. News and World Report ranked the University at #288 in National Universities (tie), #29 in Most Innovative Schools (tie) and #51 in Top Performers on Social Mobility (tie).
