Incoming class of 2024

Students chatting in the Urban Plaza

Meet Portland State’s newest students

PSU welcomes 3,247 new undergraduate students this fall. They come primarily from Oregon and the West Coast and from as far away as Kuwait and India. More than half our new students are transfers, which is why we're Oregon’s top transfer school and continuing our more than 75-year tradition of serving nontraditional students. We are proud to introduce PSU’s incoming class of fall 2024 — the problem solvers, innovators and creative thinkers who are turning ideas into action in Portland and beyond.
