“I am so pleased with my EOU Online experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a supportive and positive online educational experience. When I decided to go back to school I knew I needed something that would fit my needs, and EOU was exactly what I was looking for. As a single mother of a 4-year-old and 1-year-old triplets, I knew that typical in-person college classes wouldn’t work for me. Luckily, EOU has numerous programs and degrees that are entirely online. I have always loved working with children and EOU’s Early Childhood Education degree was perfect for me. At first I was nervous about online classes, as I had only previously taken in-person classes before, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out how easy they were to navigate and how accommodating they were to a person like me who has limited time to devote to school work. What I really enjoyed about my online classes was the feeling of a community even though we are all far apart, and the ability to communicate with my classmates and professors from anywhere in the world.”
