What is a land-grant university?

Impacting the state through education
The mission of land-grant institutions is to provide instruction, research and then extend that knowledge to the state and beyond. For OSU, that means helping Oklahoma by educating qualified graduates with the attributes and skills necessary to be successful and drive the state’s economy.
