Mission
One of only 62 institutions in the prestigious Association of American Universities, the University of Oregon is the flagship institution of the Oregon University System. Academic quality is the cornerstone of the University of Oregon's identity as a public research university. Beginning in their freshman year, students take courses from faculty who are leaders in their respective fields, have opportunities to be involved in cutting-edge research in every academic discipline, and work alongside prominent scholars, assisting with their work as well as conducting original research of their own. Freshmen have the option to enroll in over 50 different Freshman Interest Groups, special course groupings in which small groups of first-year students take two core courses that are connected through a third seminar course. In addition, Freshman Seminar classes allow students to explore topics in-depth with some of Oregon's most prominent faculty members. Highly motivated students find opportunities for intellectual challenge in the Robert Clark Honors College, the Society of College Scholars within the College of Arts and Sciences, or Research and Honors programs within individual departments. Distinctive opportunities include the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center and the Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship within the Lundquist College of Business; the Green Chemistry Laboratory and the Alice C. Tyler Instrumentation Center, the first green chemistry facilities of their kind in the nation; the Lorry I. Lokey Laboratories building that is encased in bedrock nineteen feet below the ground, providing an optimal setting for nanoscience research; extensive opportunities for overseas study and internships; and Future Music Oregon, a center in the School of Music that explores sound and its composition through the innovative use of computers and new technologies. At the University of Oregon, more than 22,000 men and women study in idyllic, lush settings in the heart of the rugged Pacific Northwest where the dramatic Oregon coast is an hour's drive to the west, and the Cascade Mountains are an hour to the east, allowing easy access to both winter and summer sports and activities. The university's mid-range size gives it the ambience of a smaller institution, but with the benefit of the resources of a major research institution. The University of Oregon's 295-acre main campus is located in Eugene, nationally recognized as one of America's most livable cities, as well as one of its best college towns. The university is a community of scholars dedicated to the highest standards of academic inquiry, learning, and service who recognize that knowledge is the fundamental wealth of civilization. Students come to Oregon because they find faculty and fellow students who share their belief that education should inspire and prepare people to make a difference in the world. The University of Oregon is a unique institution that will challenge students to change the world by giving them the skills and knowledge to question critically, think logically, communicate clearly, act creatively, and live ethically.
