Choose the UO
The University of Oregon is all about learning and living, action and adventure, opportunities and outcomes. If you like that mix, you’ll love it here!
At the UO you’ll study alongside students from every U.S. state and 87 countries and learn from award-winning faculty with expertise in fields from architecture to zebrafish. You may find yourself researching green manufacturing at our world-class Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute or exploring historical preservation in Malta.
Top-notch students and faculty are drawn to our many departments, colleges, and professional programs ranked among the best in the nation. But that doesn’t mean going to school at the UO is all work and no play. Our campus is situated near the convergence of two rivers, in a lush valley between two spectacular mountain ranges—and just over an hour’s drive from the Pacific Ocean.
So when you pack up your books in preparation for a rigorous intellectual experience, don’t forget to bring along your skis, your crampons, your hiking boots, your running shoes—or whatever you wear in your quest for adventure.
