Not Just For Graduate Students
At Willamette, research isn’t just for grad students. It’s for undergraduates too. From publishing papers to presenting at conferences, our students gain hands-on experience that sets them apart as they launch their careers or enter grad school. With a strong emphasis on fields like computer science, our commitment to research goes beyond the classroom, empowering students to solve real-world problems and make a lasting impact.
Willamette Undergraduate Students Are Using Research to Launch Careers
Meet Connor Everetts BS’26 whose research is paving the way for a better digital world. By developing methods to teach computer science to older adults, he’s ensuring that technology remains accessible to all, regardless of age.
You Don’t Need an Honors College When Your Entire University Is One
Honors colleges at large public universities try to mimic the small liberal arts experience. But they don’t quite measure up to the real thing. Too often, they require separate applications, extra fees, or come with limitations on academic flexibility.
At Willamette, we believe intellectual curiosity shouldn’t come with caveats. Every student here is part of a rigorous, supportive community with no additional applications and no added fees. Just a top-tier education that challenges and inspires.
At Willamette, We Actually Deliver It
With more than 50 majors and the flexibility to combine them, you’ll have the freedom to explore multiple passions without restriction. And with retention rates higher than state schools, students stay here because they’re challenged, supported, and inspired.
Learning and Leading since 1842
For almost 200 years, Willamette has helped students turn their knowledge into action — right here in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.
