The University of Oregon welcomes visiting scholars. The UO office of International Affairs assists over 200 scholars per year from around the world. These researchers, lecturers and professors bring a wide range of expertise and experience to our campus and contribute to the University's mission and academic objectives.
The first step in becoming a visiting scholar is to contact the UO academic department that best matches your area of specialization. Your UO academic department will assist with the documents needed to apply as a visiting scholar.
If you are currently at the UO as a visiting researcher, scholar or professor, you may contact International Affairs for immigration advising and referrals to campus and community resources.
