At the University of Oregon, you'll be welcomed into a community of student and faculty scholars who embrace new ideas and the differences among us. You'll make strong connections in the community of Eugene, a true college town with citizens who celebrate the successes of UO students in labs, classrooms, and on athletic fields. You'll discover that "green" is part of our DNA—you'll study and live among true leaders in environmental responsibility and be inspired to take action yourself.
With a student-teacher ratio of 19:1 and an average class size of 22 students, you'll discover that it's easy to connect with faculty members and your peers. You'll also have all the resources of a major research university, with 271 comprehensive academic programs and more than 250 student organizations.
You'll discover that many of the UO's 271 academic programs are internationally recognized for academic excellence. Chemistry, economics, English, psychology, molecular biology, biochemistry, physics, neuroscience, and sports marketing departments all rank among the top ten in the U. S. Programs in comparative literature, finance, historic preservation, and mathematics rank in the top twenty in the U.S.
At the UO, you'll be welcomed you into a circle that includes a broad array of people, perspectives, and ideas. Over the past five years, we welcomed more underrepresented minority students than ever before. The UO is also a national leader in graduation rates for underrepresented students. Together, we will continue to strive to realize the strong multicultural community we envision.
You'll attend UO classes alongside students from all fifty states, four U.S. territories and 85 countries around the world. You'll learn from people with religious, cultural, and ethnic heritages different from your own. You'll learn to see the world differently, and be prepared to make a difference in your neighborhood, city, or the world.
