The University of Oregon is a public research university. It is part of the Oregon University System and receives state funding, though it operates with considerable autonomy. Founded in 1876, the institution is known for its academic programs, particularly in journalism, architecture, and environmental sciences.
As a public university, it offers lower tuition rates for in-state students compared to private institutions. However, out-of-state and international students pay higher fees. The university’s funding comes from a mix of state appropriations, tuition revenue, and research grants, aligning with its mission to provide accessible education.
