Southern Oregon University was recently named by the New York Times a "hidden gem" of higher education. Why are we recognized in this way?
- We are committed to excellence in teaching and learning.
- We have a small 19 to 1 student to faculty ratio and 25 student average class size.
- Classes here are taught by faculty dedicated to teaching and not by graduate assistants.
- 93% of our instructors hold a Ph.D. or equivalent highest degree.
- We are in a location that offers tons of outdoor and cultural opportunities.
- Southern Oregon University offers you a solid liberal arts education where you learn to think broadly, creatively, and critically; skills that are vital for your future success.
"Student Affairs advocates for student success. We provide resources and individualized service, supporting education and personal development in diverse environments."
The extraordinary relationship with the faculty is what I like about SOU. It is a smaller school where the students and faculty really get to know each other.
