About the University of Oregon

UO Gateway on Franklin Blvd.Founded in 1876, Oregon’s flagship institution offers a broad spectrum of opportunities in the liberal arts and sciences as well as in professional programs in architecture, arts, business, education, journalism, law, and music and dance. Approximately 16,500 undergraduates and 4,400 graduate students learn from and work side-by-side with the 1,600-member faculty, which includes prominent scholars and eminent researchers involved in breakthrough discoveries.

More than 5,000 students – roughly 25 percent of the student body – hail from the three-counties in the Portland metro area. In spring 2006, the university awarded 5,507 degrees and 339 certificates.

More than 60 major buildings, including cutting edge science facilities, are on the 295-acre campus in Eugene (pop. 140,000). The university boasts facilities all over Oregon, from the Pacific coast to the high desert. The UO is a global institution, offering more than 110 international programs and hosting more than 1,100 international students. Renovations in Old Town Portland are underway and will house a handful of professional and academic offerings in a single landmark center in 2008. UO Libraries have more than 2.6 million volumes – the second-largest collection in the Northwest. The University of Oregon is a member of the Association of American Universities, one of only two such universities in the greater Northwest.
