Our EOU Community

Great value, awesome experience

Eastern Oregon University’s small size, safe campus and scenic beauty make it a special place for students from every part of the world! Our professors and staff are dedicated to helping you succeed, and with fewer than 30 students in each class, you will benefit from working directly with our highly qualified teaching faculty. Our international tuition is the lowest out of all universities in Oregon, so you are guaranteed a great value for your education.

Get to know your peers and share your stories with other students on campus with our great multicultural clubs and organizations.

Connect with resources and travel information with our Kickstart Program.  Learn more about program and employment options, and campus activities at Student Diversity and Inclusion.

Our community is a safe place! Students know and trust our 24/7 security services staff.
