In order to graduate, every student at the UO must complete a number of group-satisfying courses in arts and letters, social sciences, and natural sciences, as well as courses in multi-cultural topics and writing. These required courses are called General Education (Gen Ed) courses.

Each term, the Society of College Scholars program offers two or more specially selected group-satisfying courses with enrollments restricted to College Scholars only, enabling you to fulfill some of your Gen Ed requirements with fellow society members in a small class setting taught by an exceptional professor.

Each fall term, incoming freshmen newly admitted to the Society of College Scholars program are asked to demonstrate their commitment to the program by enrolling in a 1-credit College Scholars colloquium for freshmen PLUS a 4-credit SCS group-satisfying course. Fulfilling this first requirement will maintain your standing as an active College Scholar. Completion of four SCS group-satisfying courses before graduation fulfills one requirement of the Society of College Scholars program.

PLEASE NOTE: Students enrolled in the Robert D. Clark Honors College complete their general education requirements WITHIN the Honors College. Society of College Scholars participants, who are simultaneously enrolled in the Honors College, are encouraged to enroll in some Scholars courses during their first two years and some of them, like PHYS 361 meet the requirements of both programs.
