Where students make deep connections, drive innovative thinking, and inspire collaboration

Our discussion-based classes allow you to develop one-on-one relationships with faculty members and learn with CHC students from majors across the UO campus. At the Honors College, we offer a path to involvement in hands-on research, along with access to internships and other career opportunities.
