Application Deadlines
Are you an incoming first-year or transfer student? Turn in your UO application by the deadline for the term you want to start. And don’t forget to declare advertising, journalism, media studies, or public relations as your major.
How To Apply
Whether you want to pursue a concentration in advertising, journalism, media studies, or public relations—or you're not quite sure yet which concentration to pursue—your journey begins by declaring a major within the SOJC.
- Incoming first-year and transfer students: Note on your UO application that you want to major in journalism, advertising, public relations, or media studies, and you’ll automatically get SOJC major status. If you’re already accepted to the UO and want to switch to SOJC before new student orientation, contact the UO Office of Admissions.
- Current UO students: If you have a cumulative UO GPA of 2.00 or better, fill out our form to choose advertising, journalism, media studies, or public relations as your major.
Laptop Policy
Your laptop is your lifeline. It keeps you connected wherever you are, on campus or off. We expect all students to have reliable access to one, and some instructors even require it for class.
