Willamette University is a place where talented faculty members inspire students to examine issues critically, think creatively and act effectively. Through our collaborative community and Pacific Northwest connections, we challenge students to transform knowledge into action - the foundation of a successful career and a meaningful life. Willamette offers students over 40 undergraduate majors and programs as well as graduate degree programs through the College of Law, Atkinson Graduate School of Management, and the Pacific Northwest College of Art. The popular guide Colleges That Change Lives recognizes Willamette as one of 40 schools where students experience rich intellectual and personal growth, thanks to dedicated professors and lively, diverse experiences in and out of the classroom. In a record unmatched by any other West Coast school, Willamette faculty members have been named Oregon's Professor of the Year 11 times since 1990. The Oregon State Capitol, just across the street, is Willamette's extended classroom. There, our students explore and implement their ideas through internships with policymakers, primary source research in the Oregon State Archives, or side-by-side work with the state's top scientists and economists. Willamette's 305-acre forest and outdoor laboratory at Zena offers students another unique space to perform scientific research with faculty and find inspiration for their music and art. Our campus is also co-located with Tokyo International University of America, providing opportunities to explore international culture through social, language and living exchanges. Our physical spaces on campus are also designed for interaction. Faculty offices line our academic hearths, which are a focal point for studying, discussion and get-togethers with professors. Willamette's alumni include a Nobel Prize-winning economist, corporate presidents and CEOs, top scholars, nationally recognized artists, 15 Oregon Supreme Court justices and numerous Fulbright Grant winners. We also encourage students to forge their own paths through an array of experiential learning opportunities. Willamette offers study abroad programs in more than 45 countries and awards more than 75 undergraduate research grants annually. Whether our students are designing cancer-fighting molecules on campus or analyzing ecosystems in our 305-acre Zena research forest, they're creating knowledge that enhances our understanding of the world. Willamette's location is unmatched. The Oregon State Capitol and numerous state agencies are located right across the street, giving students unparalleled opportunities to spearhead legislation, intern with the Governor's Office and work side-by-side with the state's top scientists and economists. Students can also gain professional experience through internships in the greater Willamette Valley. Our commitment to civic engagement is embodied in our motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born." The Willamette community contributes more than 70,000 service hours annually, helping people throughout the Salem community and partnering with organizations across the globe. We believe ideas bring us together, and that caring for each other helps us live meaningful lives. Our diversity makes us stronger, and our achievements help us promote the common good in an interconnected world. Willamette offers more than 50 undergraduate majors and programs in the College of Arts & Sciences. The university is also home to the College of Law, the Atkinson Graduate School of Management and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, giving students access to incredibly powerful learning experiences. Business majors benefit from the exceptional quality of our undergraduate and MBA programs, while data science students can choose from options that include our 3+1 BS/MS dual-degree program. Willamette's commitment to innovative leadership has never been stronger, and our collaborative academic community inspires students to live their potential.
