Research Opportunities

Many students choose to pursue a specific research topic through an honors thesis. We offer multiple ways to get involved in research at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Research Opportunities– Require case-by-case approval by Director of Undergraduate Study  

Individualized Study Registration required, with credits overseen by faculty supervisor. Can be completed any term. 

  • GLBL 401 – Research 
  • GLBL 403 – Thesis 
  • GLBL 405 – Reading 
  • GLBL 406 – Field Studies 
  • GLBL 409 – Practicum 

These experience proposals can include remote internships or local/domestic experiences. 

  • As is standard for international experiences that satisfy the Intercultural Experience Requirement, these experiences should equate to a full-time 10-week experience (roughly 40 hours per week x 10 weeks = 400 hours). 

Reach out to ociasundergrad@uoregon.edu for information on Individualized Study Course registration and to connect with the Undergraduate Advisor to discuss your proposal ideas. 

Other ideas – Require case-by-case approval by Director of Undergraduate Study 

Students may submit proposals for other courses/opportunities to count – those will also be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. For example, if you want to participate in an intensive language study, you might consider putting together a proposal for that experience to count towards your Intercultural Experience requirement.
