Act on Your Ideas

Pursue your passion and make a positive impact on your new community. Our students have developed new technologies on campus, spearheaded legislation across the street, promoted conservation at our Zena research forest, and transformed lives around the globe. So can you.

THIS IS WHERE IT BEGINS

Your professors will connect you to an array of real-world learning experiences, and they’ll never lose sight of your goals. It’s no wonder the Wall Street Journal ranks Willamette nationally in terms of the quality of student-faculty interaction, and the university is home to more Oregon Professors of the Year than any other school.

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

Most students engage in research, internships, or study abroad programs. Many do all three.

RESEARCH + INTERNSHIPS

75+ paid annual research and internships provide real-world experience for undergrads.

STUDY ABROAD

70+ study abroad programs offer learning opportunities across the globe.

RESEARCH AT ZENA

305 acres in Willamette’s Zena Research Forest provide a unique resource for handson study.

“Because the professors here are so passionate about what they are teaching, I’ve become more consumed by the material I am learning.” —Alexandra Walker ’22 triple major in math, physics, and politics
