Credit
A credit or credit hour refers to the amount of time you are expected to spend working on your classes each term. At the UO, a single credit hour is equivalent to 30 hours of course work, which refers to the time you should spend on the course in and out of hte classroom per term. Thus, a 4-credit course is equivalent to 120 hours of work per term.
Core Education
A set of courses that help you build the essential skills and knowledge expected of all UO graduates, including ethical reflection, critical thinking, written communication, and creative thinking. Core Education courses span the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences and provide a broad foundation for success in your major, career, and community.
Major
The area of study you will specialize in while at the UO. You must declare a major and complete the requirements for that major to graduate from the university. You should choose a major no later than the end of your sophomore year; however, some majors need to be declared earlier to stay on track for 4-year graduation.
Minor
A secondary focus of study in addition to your major, which lets you explore another subject you're interested in, gain complementary skills, or broaden your academic experience. It usually requires 6 courses.
Electives
Courses you choose based on your own interests that count toward the total credits you need to graduate. Electives give you the chance to try new subjects, explore possible majors or minors, study abroad, or gain hands-on experience through opportunities like internships or research. Majors and minors might also have electives as part of their requirements.
