About This School
University of Oregon is a public institution located in Eugene, Oregon with approximately 20,497 undergraduate students enrolled. University of Oregon has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 88%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,182 per year.

The University of Oregon is a public research university in Eugene, Oregon, United States. Founded in 1876, the university is organized into nine colleges and schools and offers 420 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university also operates the Ballmer Institute for Children's Behavioral Health in Portland, Oregon; the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston, Oregon; and Pine Mountain Observatory in Central Oregon.
A solid public research university with genuine breadth — 420 degree programs, a relatively low median debt of $15,000, and an 85% freshman retention rate suggest most students who arrive feel good enough about it to stay. That said, a 71% graduation rate means roughly 3 in 10 students don't finish, which is worth asking about, and median earnings of $51,300 a decade out are respectable but not exceptional for the price. Worth considering if you're drawn to Oregon's strengths in business, journalism, or environmental sciences and are confident you have the support system to see it through.
