LA GRANDE, Oregon – Eastern Oregon University has been named one of the top 25 best buys for undergraduate schools in 2006 by GetEducated.com, LLC, an online degree directory of accredited distance learning institutions in the U.S.
EOU’s business administration program is ranked number 13 out of 25 “Best Buys” listed on the GetEducated.com Web site. The list is based on the results of the company’s national spring 2006 survey of 78 regionally accredited distance bachelor degree programs in business and management.
The total four-year cost of tuition for a distance degree in business at EOU is estimated at $25,380 – a great value in comparison to the $40,224 figure found by the survey to be the national average among accredited universities that offer online degrees. EOU also does not charge any out-of-state tuition.
“We have long believed that EOU is a private school quality at a public school price, so we are pleased to be recognized in this category as an excellent academic value at a reasonable price,” said Michael Jaeger, dean of the College of Education and the College of Business.
The College of Business at EOU currently offers bachelors of science degrees in business administration, business/economics and a minor in business. Graduates of the program are prepared for careers in management, marketing, accounting and finance in both business and not-for-profit organizations.
Courses delivered to off-campus students are available at Blue Mountain Community College, Treasure Valley Community College, Chemeketa Community College, the EOU-Portland Center, and online through the Division of Distance Education.
East Carolina University made number one on the list of “Best Buys,” followed by Fort Hays State University in Kansas and Rogers State University in Oklahoma at number three. The complete list is available at www.geteducated.com/rankings/best_bachelorsbm.asp.
