“Transferring to EOU online has been the best decision. Being in the military, going to school, and working 40+ hours a week can make taking classes difficult, but going online has made it possible for me to continue my education. Not only do they offer in-class or online sessions, but they also have a VA program for military members and tuition is very affordable compared to other universities. I would recommend anyone to consider EOU for their university of choice!”

“Eastern Oregon University has an excellent Military/Veterans Office – they really do care about students! I’ve been attending Eastern since January 2020, and it’s been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. They will go the extra mile for you (if you put in the effort). For those of you who are Veterans and want to further your education, please consider EOU…you won’t regret it.”

“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!”

“It has been a true pleasure being a student at Eastern Oregon University and working with the EOU Military/Veteran Coordinator as my advisor throughout my academic career. The support that he provided was incredible. I am a full-time military member of the Air National Guard and when I started at EOU in 2019 I had an immediate rapport with my advisor since he was himself a Veteran. Not only did he answer all my academic questions in a timely manner, but I also enjoyed talking about our experiences in the military. After I retire from the military I want to…

“Coming back to school at Eastern Oregon University has been one of the best things I’ve ever done. I almost can’t believe I just knocked two full terms off my time in college by using Credit for Prior Learning. I’m so jazzed to be jumping into the computer science coursework where I belong, instead of starting all over again, and I’m having a lot of fun with my classes!”

“I was referred to Eastern Oregon University by a good friend that was also a graduate. My own experience at EOU has been amazing and exactly what I needed! Being able to go to school online has given me the flexibility to continue working and get the degree that will help me advance my career. I especially appreciate how supportive and welcoming the staff has been. It’s taken all the fear out of how to navigate college as an adult.”

“As a single mother of two boys I was able to earn my degree through EOU with lots of help from my online advisor. During my time at EOU, life had some twists and turns,and at each one, my advisor was there to guide me. On June 17, 2023, I walked across the stage hearing my name and my kids yelling – I was full of feelings! I highly recommend Eastern Oregon University for anyone looking for a small school feel with big dreams. Even online, I met many people in my classes from all over the West Coast. The…

“As an older student, I naturally felt nervous about returning to school, but my time at EOU turned out to be incredibly enjoyable. My advisors, professors, and peers were all helpful and supportive, and the classes were informative, enriching, and downright fun. My time at Eastern allowed me to finally finish my dream of receiving a college degree—exactly thirty years after graduating high school. Thank you, EOU!”

The classes align perfectly with the job I do every day. If you are considering a career in EMS management, this program is a perfect fit.”

“It was a difficult decision to choose to do online education but I’m glad I chose EOU! The support was above and beyond and EOU made getting my Bachelor’s degree a breeze. The advisors, faculty, and staff are absolutely “rock-solid Super Stars” and I am so proud to be a Mountaineer. Thank you, Eastern Oregon University family!”

Railee Bradshaw
“I’d love to share my experience at Eastern Oregon University with Credit for Prior Learning. I spent most of my college-age years acquiring life and work experience in Texas, Utah, Oregon, and Brazil. Returning to school at EOU in my early thirties was daunting, but earning college credit for the knowledge I’d gained was very empowering. Not only did I realize just how valuable my background was, but I developed the vocabulary to put what I’d learned into words that reflected a college-level education.”

“The EOU Computer Science program has been an enlightening, challenging, and rewarding experience. The faculty have all been instrumental in sharing and teaching their unique expertise to the EOU CS students. I highly recommend this program to anyone with a dedicated interest in becoming a software developer.”

Audra Sherwood
“I began my education journey later in life and I was extremely nervous. After meeting with an EOU online advisor I began to feel as though I could do this! My online advisor walked me through the steps and supported me all the way through. I was able to reach my professors when needed and they were always welcoming. I truly loved my time at EOU.”

“My experience attending Eastern Oregon University online was beyond excellent. My online advisor helped me to stay focused and motivated by listening and helping me problem-solve. Every professor showed empathy and understanding, which supported my learning. They also encouraged me to share my ideas and culture and connect them to my goals. I love that everyone worked together at EOU to help create a unique degree relating to my life experience. I never thought it would be possible at my age. Thank you, EOU!”

Chase Krause
“My 22+ years in the military has resulted in many different transcripts and working with a few different schools over the years. Working with the Eastern Oregon University admissions team and Kerry Thompson, the Military Coordinator, has been and continues to be, by far, the easiest process in working towards my degree.”

Shawn Puckett
“Eastern Oregon University has made my educational experience swift, easy, and stress-free. Although I attend online classes, I am constantly in contact with online advisors who are readily available to answer any questions I may have.. Being in the military, I have Tuition Assistance which covers a portion of my college expenses. EOU has an Active Duty Military Award which covers the rest of the expenses – which is something I was stressing about when looking for a school. It was hard trying to find a university that fit my needs and schedule, but EOU is that place. Online classes…

“After separating from the Navy after seven years of service it can be stressful to find a school that suits your needs. After some searching, I chose Eastern Oregon University. The military coordination staff have been tremendously helpful throughout the process of teaching me how to use and set up my VA benefits and any time I’ve had a question, the response has been within 24hrs. I would highly encourage any military member looking to pursue a degree to enroll at EOU online or in-person. I can confidently say that EOU is a military-friendly school and a choice that you…

“I was an online student based out of Washington state, so support was important to me. My online advisor helped me not only register for classes but also put together my educational map, ensuring that I took all the right classes for graduation. She took a burden off my shoulders with all the help and support that she offered. I am incredibly grateful for her and the entire staff at EOU for helping make my experience so smooth.”
