Majors and Minors

Marine biology? Got it. Product design? Got that, too. Plus Chinese and a host of other language programs, economics, advertising, and a whole lot more. If you’re an explorer—a student undecided about a major or minor—know that you are in good company: one-fourth of incoming UO students aren’t sure about their majors when they enroll.

Undecided about your major?

Making the transition to college can make you feel like a small fish in a big pond, especially when you're undecided about your major. But don't worry—about a quarter of incoming UO students aren’t sure about their majors when they enroll. You’ll be in great company as you explore your academic opportunities.

One benefit to being undecided about your major is that your mind is open—a lot like your future. Among the hundreds of academic programs you'll find here at the UO, there will be many you've never imagined. Each term you can choose from more than 3,000 classes that will help you explore your interests, identify your skills, and find your passion.
