Examine What Makes People Tick
The study of human groups, attitudes, and behavior—from the dawn of time to modern day—spans an array of disciplines. We can help you pinpoint your interests. Our psychology program is one of the best in the nation. If anthropology intrigues you, pick a concentration in archaeology or biological or cultural anthropology. Philosophy and Religious Studies offer a window into the human condition, and our many language programs examine culture and communication. We also offer degrees in communication disorders and sciences, family and human services, general social science, neuroscience, and sociology.
At the UO you’ll develop a strong foundation in real-world settings with outstanding faculty, whether in a field experience or internship, researching in campus labs, or as part of a student-led program.
All of these degrees offer flexibility after college, teaching you skills that relate to a wide variety of occupations or serve as excellent precursors to graduate programs.

“What made my undergraduate experience special were the many amazing people I got to meet and the lifelong connections and memories I was able to create with them.”
—River Veek, Class of 2022, Computer and Information Science major and Psychology minor
“The people that I met made my undergraduate experience so special; ranging from friends, teachers, and graduate students, to people you met in the elevator. I came into college very nervous to meet so many new people but I have been welcomed with open arms in so many spaces and I have loved trying to be that for others.”
—Faith Longnight, Class of 2022, Chemistry and Sociology major
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.
“What I like most about the research neighborhoods (at the Knight Campus) are the interactions. Students are exposed to different types of scientific research which helps them find their own path and create their own collaborations.”
– Parisa Hosseinzadeh, Computational Biochemist and Assistant Professor, Knight Campus
