Marine biology? Got it. Product design? Got that, too. Plus Chinese and a host of other language programs, economics, advertising, and a whole lot more. If you’re an explorer—a student undecided about a major or minor—know that you are in good company: one-fourth of incoming UO students aren’t sure about their majors when they enroll.

One benefit to being undecided about your major is that your mind is open—a lot like your future.

Each term you can choose from more than 3,000 classes that will help you explore your interests, identify your skills, and find your passion.
