Depending upon the academic area, the College of Arts & Sciences offers course work, paralleling requirements of universities from which degrees in those areas are offered.
EOU and the Northeast Oregon Area Health Education Center, in partnership, launched the health speaker series with the goal of providing students interested in pursuing healthcare careers the opportunity to hear first-hand experiences from members of the area medical community. The series will continue through spring term with one presentation each month.
