Department Summary

The Robert D. Clark Honors College is a liberal arts honors college within the University of Oregon. Founded in 1960, it is one of the oldest public university honors colleges in the United States. The College features a newly restructured curriculum that provides students with a strong interdisciplinary foundation in the liberal arts, as well as a series of signature programs, including Calderwood Seminars in Public Writing, the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, and an Academic Residential Community. CHC courses are typically run as seminars and are writing-intensive. Courses are capped at 19 students, allowing for vibrant intellectual discussions and faculty-student interaction. The Visiting Fellow in Equity, Justice, and Inclusion focuses on a theme that rotates each year.

The University of Oregon is located within the traditional homelands of the Southern Kalapuya.

Land Acknowledgement: Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855, the Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, descendants are citizens of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians of Oregon.
