High School Counselors

You play a key role in guiding students through the university admissions process. We look forward to working with you to help your students decide if the University of Oregon is right for them. If we may be of help, please contact us. We also encourage you to subscribe to Ducktales, a quarterly newsletter specifically designed to alert high school counselors to changes in UO admission policies, and to highlight unique and interesting aspects of an education at the University of Oregon.

You know your students, so you know what programs, environments, and activities will suit them best. We like to think our 268 comprehensive academic programs, over 250 student organizations, and rich student life offer something for everyone. But even if your students aren't quite sure whether they'll fit in, they can rest assured that with 20,000 undergraduates hailing from all 50 of the United States, the District of Columbia, two U.S. territories, and 89 countries, they're bound find a home among our diverse community of scholars located on a 295-acre park-like campus in a safe and supportive small city.
