Admissions

Admissions

Admission to the College of Education is often competitive and rigorous. We are determined to find the best students who are equipped and prepared to succeed in our highly-ranked and respected programs.

There are additional requirements for admission to most programs after acceptance to the University of Oregon. There are also a limited number of students accepted to each program. Some programs also require field placements in community settings and/or background checks as part of the admissions process.

To ensure the best possible admissions process, students are urged to plan a visit if possible, check admission requirements for their specific desired program, and to apply for both admission and funding opportunities as early as possible.
