There are many reasons students choose to become a Duck. Find your why and explore the University of Oregon.
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.
Find the Degree Program for You
“The academic resources available at the UO have allowed me to double major and minor in diverse fields of study that will hopefully guide me onto the career path that I want to pursue after graduating.”
—Will Ewens, Class of 2023, Political Science and Geography major
“The Cinema Studies program at the UO gave me a truly unique opportunity to stand out and succeed in my industry. The emphasis on intersectional cinema classes shaped my perspective on how I began to approach editing, by increasing and amplifying marginalized voices on screen when those stories have been erased over the course of film history.”
—Sabrina Giminez, Class of 2013, English and Cinema Studies 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.
The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact welcomed its first group of PhD bioengineering students this year. The program marks the first engineering degree for the UO.
These individuals aim to advance science that can solve some of society's greatest challenges.
