Clark Honors College is the Place for You
If you are energized by new ideas, motivated to push the boundaries of knowledge, and eager to find solutions, you will thrive here.
You'll join a community of students, faculty, and staff alive with ideas and opinions. Our students are full of curiosity, eager to listen, broaden their perspectives, and develop their own innovative ideas. We want our students to push themselves and embrace opportunities to grow as advocates, artists, policy-makers, scientists, musicians, writers, and more. The CHC will help you integrate the skills you will learn in your major and apply them to problems and causes greater than you.
Admission into the Clark Honors College is highly competitive. Each year, more than 4,000 students apply for a limited number of spots in our incoming class. We look at academic motivation, creativity, and critical thinking in each application, valuing diverse experiences, backgrounds, and interests. All prospective students, regardless of immigration status, are encouraged to apply. Join us on this academic and intellectual adventure.
The CHC is just right
As you can see, our students benefit from the resources of a major research university: the Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, the Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health, a prestigious Environmental Studies program, a School of Computer and Data Science, innovation incubators, and an accelerated law degree program.
At the same time, you will enjoy the personalized attention of a small liberal arts college: averaging just 15 students, classes are taught by professors with a deep interest in their fields and a desire to teach in new and engaging ways. You'll further benefit from opportunities for CHC students such as Study Abroad; Seminars for Public Writing; and the Three Minute Thesis Competition.
As seniors, CHC students complete a thesis project—the capstone experience of their UO education. The thesis also helps with future graduate school, internship and job opportunities.
We'd love to meet you!
