Located directly across from the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, Oregon, Willamette gives students access to internships, research, public service, policy work and professional opportunities from their first year forward. Our professors know their students by name, challenge them to think critically and creatively, and help them connect classroom learning to real-world impact. Recognized by Colleges That Change Lives, Willamette is known for close faculty mentorship, rigorous academics and a collaborative community rooted in the motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born." Our faculty have been named Oregon Professor of the Year 11 times, a record unmatched by any other West Coast college or university. Students choose from more than 50 undergraduate majors and programs across the liberal arts, sciences, business, data science, art and design. They also benefit from Willamette's distinctive academic ecosystem, which includes the School of Law, Atkinson Graduate School of Management, the School of Computing and Information Sciences, and Pacific Northwest College of Art. Whether conducting research in our 305-acre forest, studying abroad, creating art in Portland, interning at the Capitol or working alongside faculty on original research, Willamette students graduate ready to lead meaningful lives and successful careers.
