Knowledge to Advance Technology

Conduct astronomy research at a mountain observatory, develop computer simulations, or brew your own beer. At the UO, you can gain technical expertise in fields such as marine biology, astronomy, and materials science to understand the physical world and find new solutions to today’s scientific and technological challenges.

The Science of Brewing Beer

Where can you find chemistry, history, and business majors measuring hops and crushing barley? At the UO’s Knight Campus, the Brewing Innovation Minor brings together students from across campus to learn science, design, and innovation through the process of brewing beer, from creating recipes and brewing to packaging and marketing.
