 “There are not enough words to say all the good things about the art program at EOU. Excellent professors who care about their students, classes that are challenging and engaging, and great facilities — including individual studios for the seniors — are just a few of the things that make Eastern’s art program great. I have been prepared with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to become a professional artist.”
