Human Performance and Sport

The University of Oregon will take the next steps to be a world-class university in the study of human performance and sport, leveraging our unique and historical strengths in these areas. These will include new degree programs, development of professional pathways for our students into related industries, and accelerated scholarship that expands our understanding of human performance and sport through multidisciplinary lenses, including science, business, communications, design, ethics, and law.
