“EOU’s MAT program is all about learning through experience and from each other. This is a close knit program and you get to know everyone really well.” Sarah S.

“I appreciate that Eastern’s MAT program allows for me to be a parent as well as a master’s student. The time in a public classroom exceeds many other programs. The staff at EOU is exceptional. I couldn’t ask for better models to guide my education and career.” Brenna H.

“The EOU Education Job Fair was a great experience overall and I am glad to have been a part of it. I learned a lot abut the kinds of questions that will be asked in an interview and what kinds of information we need to know in order to be prepared. I was very grateful for the assistance on my resume. Thank you!!“ EOU Education Student
