NAVIGATING COLLEGE ADMISSION

“Willamette University is far away from the East Coast prestige machine in both geography and philosophy. It’s a place where you will grow, if you take advantage of the university’s abundant offerings and active community.” – Colleges That Change Lives

Willamette University is a private liberal arts college located in Salem, Oregon, right across the street from the State Capitol. As the first university in the west, our tradition is keeping an eye on the future. The future is innovative. It is interdisciplinary. We strive to prepare our students for a rapidly changing world by encouraging them to think outside the box, to explore new academic paths. Willamette has been guiding future leaders and insightful thinkers since 1842. We will be proud to help your student realize their full potential and make their mark on the world.
