Our kickoff to fall term will be unparalleled, as the Class of 2024 returns to campus and we greet our newest Ducks, the Class of 2025. Welcome home.
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.

“Focusing my studies globally is not to learn how to have all the answers, but to be equipped with the ability to interact with communities and people internationally, to help create a better world that is possible for all humankind.”
—Porter Wheeler, Class of 2023, Global Studies major
“Knowing that I am able to participate in a program that centers itself around students, and values what they have to bring to the table inspires me as a mujer and as a mexicana to take up space in this institution.”
—Jessy Birruete, Class of 2023, Linguistics and Spanish 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.
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.
Marian Hettiaratchi, Assistant Professor, Knight Campus
The UO is one of six founding partners in the new Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, a global effort to promote wellness and peak performance through discovery and innovation. Based at the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, the UO’s role in the alliance spans multiple areas on campus, including the Bowerman Sports Science Center. Alliance researchers will study peak physical performance in their efforts to advance human health, helping us all lead healthier, more active lives.
