CAS offers the core liberal arts and sciences curriculum that serves the entire UO undergraduate population.

CAS also serves the majority of UO's graduate students, with numerous master's programs and 30+ doctoral programs that produce approximately 75% of the university's Ph.Ds. CAS is also home to approximately 750 faculty, 1,000+ graduate employees, and 200 administrative employees.
Position Summary
CAS is undergoing an administrative reorganization; positions filled from this posting are permanent, but will likely be reorganized in the next several months. These positions are a great opportunity to learn about academic program accounting, and to be considered for advancement as the new administrative structure is implemented.
