Our Locations
Bushnell is the largest private university in Eugene’s vibrant University District, which also includes the University of Oregon. Nestled in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, you can experience all four seasons and find lots of outdoor activities to do, as you can bike, run, walk, and check out the luscious green scenery on one of our famous trails here in Track Town, USA. Eugene is small enough for you to know your neighbors and large enough to offer fantastic arts, entertainment, dining, healthcare, and educational opportunities.
Eugene is approximately 100 miles south of Portland. A short trip from campus provides opportunities to visit and take advantage of the Oregon Coast; to ski, snowboard, or snowshoe the winter beauty of Mount Bachelor and Willamette Pass; to hike one of many local waterfalls, or to kayak paddleboard in one of 249 lakes found throughout Lane County.
