For Employers
Come join us on our beautiful Ashland campus for an opportunity to talk directly to our students.

Southern Oregon University provides career-focused and comprehensive educational experiences to over 6,200 students on both its Ashland and Medford campuses. SOU primarily serves the state of Oregon with a focus on southern Oregon and the northernmost counties of California.
