    From Reed College

    One of the most distinctive colleges in the nation, Reed provides a singular example of the liberal arts experience: a structured curriculum with an emphasis on independent inquiry; extensive written and in-person feedback from professors on assignments; and a deeply collaborative academic environment. Classes are small, faculty members are highly accessible, and students are active participants in the production of new knowledge.

    The breadth, depth, and rigor of the curriculum provide excellent preparation for nearly any career. Reed is ranked second in the nation in the percentage of graduates who earn PhDs in the life sciences, third in the nation in the percentage of graduates who earn PhDs in the arts & humanities, and fourth across all disciplines. Many Reed alumni win major graduate fellowships, found or lead companies and organizations, and earn medical or law degrees.

    The Senior Thesis at Reed

    academic spotlight

    Reed is one of very few undergraduate institutions where every student writes a thesis in their senior year. Undertaken with significant support from a professor, the thesis is an opportunity for students to explore a research question of their own devising. Reed theses represent an incredible range of topics, from the pollutants in wild fire smoke to the music videos of Beyoncé.
