Earning Your Degree
Core Education
The UO is a liberal arts university. That means your education is about more than preparing for one job or learning one set of skills. It's about learning how to think clearly, communicate well, solve problems, and understand the world from more than one point of view. That's where Core Education courses come in.
Degree Types
Most students will complete a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree. A few majors require students to complete a different type of bachelor's degree. There are several factors that will influence your decision about which type of degree you want, including whether math or a second language is required for your major.
Majors and Minors
With nearly 200 undergraduate programs at the UO, you don’t have to choose between passion and possibility—you get both. Search for majors and minors by interest and by school or college.
Clark Honors College
Students at the Robert D. Clark Honors College can pursue any UO major and complete a thesis in their major field. However, the CHC follows a different core education curriculum.
