As your student transitions to college your role as a family member may change, but your support will still be key to their success as a Duck.
Improving the Quality of Life
Whether you want to be a researcher or health care provider, an artist or inventor, the University of Oregon offers a variety of degree options if you envision a career in health or fitness.
Maybe you’re interested in the building blocks of biochemistry, biology, and neuroscience. Or, if the function of movement is more your style, consider the science of human physiology or the creativity of dance. If you want to create things that make life better, our product design program may be for you.
Whatever route you choose, you’ll be immersed in research and collaborative, multidisciplinary study and experimentation that will equip you for whatever comes next.

A Place for Curiosity
Ducks dive into research to find answers to some of humanity’s biggest questions. We’re using big data to save and improve lives, striving to predict earthquakes and prevent deadly disease. We’re combining expertise across disciplines in math, biology, and genomics with bioengineering, neuroengineering, and precision medicine to fight cancer.
We’re re-defining research education with the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, shaping the next generation of scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs, ready to serve the state, nation, and world with discovery and impact.
Even in my short time here, the evolution of the Knight Campus has been extraordinary, as we pursue science that helps people. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Knight for your investment and belief in us. Today, we celebrate not only how far we’ve come, but also how much further we will go, as we accelerate our efforts to help more people, sooner, reshaping not only discovery but also modern medicine.

The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact welcomed its third cohort of undergraduate scholars this year. The students are paired with mentors who guide them through a yearlong research experience in Knight Campus-affiliated labs.
