University Of Oregon, Eugene Ranking 2026 from QS, THE & US NEWS

University of Oregon Overall Rankings 2026

Across the four major global ranking bodies, University of Oregon’s overall rank ranges from #256 (Collegedunia Study Abroad 2026) to #751-760 (QS 2026), a 500-place spread that signals different bodies weight UO’s strengths very differently.

The 500-place gap between Collegedunia Study Abroad (#256) and QS (#711-720) shows that UO scores better on India-focused factors like Indian student fit, post-study work pathways and AAU research access than on the raw global indicators QS uses. THE places UO about 250 positions above QS, a sign that THE’s reputation and teaching score outweigh QS’s employer survey weight for this university.

Key insight: Three of the five tracked bodies place UO inside the global top 500 once subject and India-fit factors are weighted, even though the QS world list sits in the 700s.

University of Oregon Rankings: Bottom Line for Indian Students

For Indian applicants comparing UO against IIT Bombay and other US universities, the rank that matters is rarely the QS world number. The signals below translate each tracked rank into a usable filter for an Indian applicant pool.

University of Oregon QS World University Rankings 2027

University of Oregon QS ranking has been volatile across the last five editions, dropping into the #801-850 band in 2025 before recovering 90 positions over the next two editions. The 5-year trend below uses the most recent QS World University Rankings 2027 release.

UO’s QS line moved a net of about 30 positions upward across five editions, but the 80-place dip in 2025 marked the sharpest year-on-year drop in the window. The 2026 and 2027 editions reversed that dip, returning UO close to its 2023 starting band of #701-750, which signals stability rather than momentum for Indian applicants tracking the trend.

What it signals: A five-year band swing of roughly 100 positions means UO is not climbing the QS list, so Indian applicants should weigh subject-specific QS ranks more than the world rank.

Collegedunia Study Abroad Rankings of University of Oregon

University of Oregon ranks among the top-third of US universities on the Collegedunia Study Abroad list, with its strongest category result coming in Arts and Humanities at #179 globally. The table below captures every Collegedunia Study Abroad category where UO is currently ranked.

UO’s Arts and Humanities rank of #179 sits 77 positions higher than its overall #256 position, the widest category-vs-overall gap on the CD list. For Indian applicants screening US options, UO’s USA rank of #112 means it edges into the top one-third of the 357 US universities CD currently tracks, a useful first filter before subject-level comparison.

India-relevance: CD’s #112-in-USA placement converts to roughly the 31st percentile of CD’s tracked US pool, a stronger signal for Indian shortlists than UO’s QS rank suggests.

University of Oregon Times Higher Education (THE) Rankings

University of Oregon is ranked in the #401-500 band of Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2026, about 250 positions above its QS World 2027 placement. THE, which scores universities on teaching, research, citations, international outlook and industry, weights reputation and research impact more heavily than QS does.

The single-year THE position places UO inside the global top 25% of THE-ranked institutions, which currently covers 2,191 universities across 115 countries. THE’s higher placement of UO compared to QS reflects stronger teaching and research-impact scores than the QS employer survey captures.

Note: UO’s THE band (#401-500) puts it roughly 300 places above its QS rank, the widest cross-body gap among the four major world lists for this university.

University of Oregon ARWU (Shanghai) Rankings

University of Oregon’s ARWU rank has slipped two full bands across the last five editions, falling from #301-400 in 2021 to #501-600 in 2025. ARWU, which ranks universities mainly on research output, Nobel and Fields medal alumni, highly-cited researchers and papers in Nature and Science, is the harshest of the major bodies for universities without a large STEM research base.

The 2-band drop over five years is the steepest decline among UO’s tracked bodies, and ARWU is the only world list where UO has consistently lost ground since 2022. For Indian PhD and research-oriented applicants, this means UO’s pure research output is being outpaced by faster-growing US peer universities, but UO’s subject-level GRAS results still place it in the top 75 globally in Communication.

Trend signal: ARWU’s 200-place drop signals weaker pure-research output, but the GRAS Communication rank of #51-75 shows the decline is concentrated in lab-heavy sciences, not UO’s humanities and social science strengths.

University of Oregon Other Global Rankings

University of Oregon also appears in two other recognised global ranking systems, both published in late 2025. The table below captures the most recent confirmed editions.

The two bodies place UO within 30 positions of each other globally, a tight cluster that matches THE’s #401-500 band and runs ~280 places above the QS world rank. For Indian applicants, the U.S. News national rank of #87 matters more than the global number, as US employers and Indian recruiters at US-degree shortlisting stages weight national US standing first.

Key insight: Four of UO’s five tracked bodies cluster within a 200-position band (THE #401-500, U.S. News #429, CWUR #459, ARWU #501-600), making QS the clear outlier at #711-720.

University of Oregon Subject Rankings

University of Oregon subject rankings reach top-75 globally in Communication and top-125 in Psychology, both well above its overall world position. The H3 breakdowns below cover the standout subjects, and the consolidated tables capture every officially ranked subject across THE and ARWU GRAS lists.

University of Oregon Communication Ranking

University of Oregon ranks #51-75 globally in ARWU Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) 2025 for Communication, its highest subject placement on any global list. The School of Journalism and Communication is the source of this signal, and its rank sits about 640 positions above UO’s overall QS world rank.

India-relevance: A top-75 global Communication rank converts to a stronger MS Mass Communication signal than what Indian applicants typically find at universities in this fee band.

University of Oregon Psychology Ranking

UO is placed at #101-125 in THE World University Rankings by Subject 2026 for Psychology and at #101-150 in ARWU GRAS 2025 for the same subject. The two independent bodies agree on a top-150 placement, which strengthens the signal for Indian applicants weighing MS Psychology or behavioural research programs.

What it signals: Two ranking bodies converging on top-125 to top-150 for Psychology gives Indian applicants a more reliable subject read than a single-body number would.

University of Oregon THE Subject Rankings 2026

UO appears in nine THE subject lists for 2026, with Psychology as the strongest and Life Sciences as the lowest band. The Pattern B table below lists every officially ranked THE subject for the current edition.

Six of UO’s nine THE subjects land inside the global top 500, and three reach the top 250 band. Indian applicants in CS, Engineering and Education all see UO inside the top 400 globally on THE, a sharper signal than the headline world rank.

University of Oregon ARWU GRAS Subject Rankings 2025

UO appears in eight ARWU Global Ranking of Academic Subjects categories for 2025, with Communication leading at #51-75. The four subjects placed in the top 150 globally cover the disciplines Indian applicants most often pick at UO.

Four of UO’s eight GRAS subjects sit inside the world’s top 150, and three more reach the top 200. The cluster of social-science and humanities subjects in the top 200 maps directly to the programs Indian applicants enrol in at the highest rates, including Communication, Psychology, Education and Political Science.

Key insight: Seven of UO’s 17 tracked subject ranks (THE plus ARWU GRAS) land inside the global top 250, a wider top-tier spread than its #711-720 QS world rank would suggest.

University of Oregon Rankings: Indian Student Outlook

For Indian applicants, UO’s value lies in its subject-level rankings and AAU research network rather than its world rank. The Indian student outlook table below converts UO’s rank profile into the signals most relevant to an Indian shortlist.

Indian students at UO most commonly enrol in five program clusters, each tied to a confirmed top-500 subject rank. The five program clusters and their underlying rank signal are listed below.

• MS Computer Science: THE Computer Science #301-400, useful for Indian CS applicants targeting OPT and STEM-extension pathways.
• MBA at Lundquist College of Business: THE Business and Economics #501-600; the Sports Product Management track is a UO-distinctive draw.
• MS Communication and Journalism: ARWU Communication #51-75, the strongest subject signal on the page.
• MS Psychology: THE Psychology #101-125 and ARWU Psychology #101-150, twin signals inside the global top 150.
• MA Education or EdD: ARWU Education #101-150, useful for Indian applicants targeting US K-12 or higher-education research careers.
