The Arts and Administration Program at the University of Oregon informs cultural sector administration, policy, research, and education. We prepare and inspire cultural leaders based on the belief that they must be familiar with the social, economic, environmental, political, technical and ethical contexts in which arts and culture flourish.

The Department of Architecture at the University of Oregon seeks to provide a well-rounded education, not only through the university and its many offerings and opportunities, but within the various programs in the department. We seek to develop not only future introspective practitioners, but also critical thinkers who will eventually be in significant leadership positions in the profession. Our students and faculty believe that it is extremely important to be intellectually prepared to address issues of national and international importance in a meaningful and responsible manner.

To achieve this goal, the department's programs focus on providing a comprehensive and holistic approach to learning. With undergraduate (B.Arch and B.IArch) and graduate (M.Arch. and M.IArch) programs in Eugene and an urban architecture graduate program in Portland, the Department of Architecture is situated to address the critical environmental, urban, and building design issues needed in the 21st Century. We are committed to providing education in architecture and interior architecture that stresses exploration of critical issues in a learning environment that is conducive to meaningful inquiry and creativity.

Contemporary media practice involves a rigorous investigation of, and engagement with continually evolving technologies. Our digital arts program encourages students to combine an understanding of the theoretical discourses of new media and visual arts with strong technical sophistication, a rich sense of visual design and an ability to articulately express themselves as artists.
