Integrative learning is an understanding and a disposition built through engaging with multiple disciplines, the co-curriculum, personal and work experience, and the community. Integrative learning occurs as students pose and answer authentic questions and approach problems that cut across disciplinary boundaries, call for diverse methods and types of evidence, and communicate conclusions to various audiences employing appropriate media.
Integrative learning develops intellectual curiosity, intercultural knowledge, and ethical responsibility, and emphasizes the interdependence of disciplines while creating habits of mind that prepare students to make reasoned judgments in response to complex problems in their personal, professional, and civic lives.

“Serving in the Air National Guard while pursuing my bachelor’s degree online at Eastern Oregon University has afforded me the opportunity to take schoolwork with me while I travel for work or vacation. This convenient option allows me to work at my own pace while being geographically separated from campus!”
