The University of Oregon is all about learning and leading, action and adventure, opportunities and outcomes. The UO’s commitment to academic excellence draws top-notch students and faculty to the university’s 271 comprehensive academic programs, many of which rank number one in Oregon and among the top 20 in the nation.
At the UO you’ll learn to think globally, studying alongside a diverse student body hailing from every U.S. state as well as 87 countries. The Clark Honors College, one of the oldest honors colleges in the nation, combines the benefits of a small college with the advantages of a large cosmopolitan research university.
When you’re not in class, cheer on fifteen Oregon Ducks Division 1 sports teams, and enjoy the cultural, social, and athletic outlets of the UO’s rich student life, including more than 250 student organizations.
You’ll explore Eugene, a classic college town blending equal parts urban and outdoors. Ducks take pride in their city and their environment, and the UO is a leader in sustainability innovations. The UO's beautiful campus, available year-round for visits by prospective students, is situated near the convergence of two rivers, in a lush forested valley—and just over an hour’s drive from the Cascade mountain range to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west…the perfect location to plan outdoor adventure.
But your education will never be bound by a single location. With the entire state of Oregon as your classroom, you’ll attend lectures in bustling downtown Portland, chart the heavens near scenic Bend, and plumb the ocean’s depths in coastal Charleston.
The UO’s academic strength and breadth of opportunities make it an amazing investment in your future. The UO offers opportunities for undergraduate research, professional preparation, and even career direction to set you on the path to success!
