The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of their indigenous homeland by the United States government and forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, Kalapuya descendants are primarily citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and they continue to make important contributions to their communities, to the UO, to Oregon, and to the world.
We offer many opportunities for prospective students and their families to tour campus, ask questions, and connect with current students and staff. Mix and match options to create a visit that works for you.

We’re a member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), meaning we’re one of the top 38 public research universities in the nation. We’re one of two AAU members in the Pacific Northwest, and the only one in Oregon.
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 tackle society’s challenges. We’re combining expertise across disciplines in math, biology, and genomics with biomedical data science and precision medicine to fight cancer. We’re coming together to define science and research education for the 21st century, shaping future generations of scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs who are ready to serve Oregon, the nation, and the world.
At the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, teams of scientists, researchers, and students are creating new opportunities in fields such as bioengineering. They’re blurring lines between disciplines, pursuing discovery, and developing medical devices and therapies. They strive to deploy new products, innovations, and cures to improve people’s lives. The 170,000-squarefoot first building is home to researchers tackling challenges such as spinal injuries, macular degeneration, pain management, and more. accelerate.uoregon.edu

why.uoregon.edu/humanities
Students of the humanities explore what it means to be human through our connection to others, society, and the natural world. At a moment in history when the very nature of “truth” and “reality” are hotly contested, the humanities provide necessary insight into the character of civilizations past and present, and cultures and experiences that differ from our own.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Convey your vision for the future of Mount Hood National Forest through a written public testimony and a 15-second Instagram video.

It’s a different way to study the environment through creative approaches that just might be what’s needed to address the world’s biggest natural challenges.
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF CINEMA STUDIES
Priscilla takes on assumptions, things that are accepted as true without proof. Whether based on race, gender, or even a style of hair, these presumptions are the focus of her research into film and mainstream media. She asks questions about why people don’t question. Priscilla finds that pop culture is a great avenue for introducing students to research, so they’ll start asking good questions too.

While the public might only notice the end result, scientists know that breakthroughs are the culmination of years of step-by-step work: asking questions; gathering data; trial, failure, and retrial. This is where you’ll learn to research health inheritance, to observe volcanic flow, to theorize about quantum computing, to model molecules and decode DNA. It’s where you’ll create theories about the human mind, cures for the human body, and ways to heal the environment. This is where we work together to create new knowledge daily and make discoveries that will change the world.
Thanks to features of the new 48-foot research vessel Megalopa, scientists and students at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology will access the ocean like never before.

The UO recognizes the ongoing racial injustices that have called so many people to take action. To bring about awareness of systemic racism and to impact change, we know it takes intention, humility, and a willingness to listen to and learn from the people around us particularly those most impacted by these injustices. It also takes critical thinking and shifts in how we behave and act, for change to happen. Working toward this goal, the UO has devoted a channel to educate our community, provide opportunities to participate, move toward change, and acknowledge and honor work that is being done. uoregon.edu/listen-learn-act
Diversity at the University of Oregon is more than numbers and percentages.
It’s about communities and individuals: students, professors, and staff members, with unique identities, experiences, and perspectives.
We’re committed to continuously building an equitable, welcoming, and inclusive community. It’s an evolving conversation with no endpoint a continuous commitment to be and do better. Our community is at our best when we affirm, respect, support, and celebrate what makes us different along with the common threads that bring us together.

why.uoregon.edu/campuslife
We believe in the power of community and the importance of belonging. When you arrive on campus, you won’t be alone. You’ll be surrounded by others who just like you have a hunger to learn and succeed as students. But the college experience is more than earning a degree it’s defined by your encounters outside of the classroom. It’s the people you’ll meet, the opportunities and activities you’ll share as Ducks, and the memories that you’ll take with you as alumni.
At first the UO may seem like a big pond, but the connections you’ll form will make it feel much smaller.

why.uoregon.edu/wellness
There are many components to being healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally. Taking care of yourself may mean consulting with a physician when you are sick, talking to a therapist if you are struggling, or forming rich relationships with those you live, play, and study with.
University Health Services provides comprehensive medical and mental health services on campus. Our providers are experts in college health and are here to help you achieve your full academic and personal potential.
Getting support is different for everyone. That’s why Counseling Services offers a wide range of strategies from one-on-one therapy to attending a discussion group or workshop to best fit the needs of individual students.
This commitment to your well-being stretches beyond the walls of our state-of-the-art health facility. Take yoga classes at the Student Recreation Center that include mindful breathing. Eat nutritious, locally sourced food in our dining halls. Engage with peer health educators who are here to assist you in developing self-care and life balance. Do you have a passion for personal well-being? There is even an academic residential community where you can live with others to purposefully support each other.
In every corner of our campus, you will find people working to help you be healthy and resilient on your path to success.

When
your best, we know it’s also important to take a break.
It may be weekly meditation and yoga, a pick-up basketball game after class, or exploring forested paths on weekends at the UO we value balance and making time to incorporate activity and wellness into our schedules. Our state-of-the-art Student Recreation Center offers fitness classes and activity courses. We offer many options for you to improve your physical health.

This is our ecosystem. We’re immersed in nature. It inspires us. It informs our decisions and our innovation.
The first recycling bills were drafted here. No surprise sustainability is in our DNA. So is good coffee and fresh, locally grown food. Active isn’t an afterthought, either. It’s part of our lifestyle. We run on Pre’s Trail, bike to school, and roll along 13th Avenue. We ski down mountains, float down rivers, and play along the beaches on the weekends. We wouldn’t have it any other way. This is where you come to explore, lean into life, be anything you want.
