How diverse is the UO physics department?
As is true for all major research universities, diversity is an everyday fact of life at the UO Physics Department. Our graduate program provides an environment where intellectual, social and cultural diversity is valued and celebrated. You may well find that this makes graduate student life richer than the typical undergraduate experience. Approximately one-fifth of our graduate students are women. This matches the national average, and is in line with a continuing trend toward increased percentage of PhD degrees awarded to women. The department maintains a separate web page dedicated to gender issues, where you can find more specific information.
