“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.”

“I never thought that college would be in my future while I was attending high school. However, Eastern Oregon University made it easy for me. It offered an affordable online program that allowed me to begin my career while furthering my education. I have now earned my degree in Accounting with no student debt – thank you to everyone at EOU that helped me along this worthwhile journey!”

“EOU’s classes for high schoolers are uncomplicated and don’t overload students on assignments. My classes were free! I recommend that others should definitely take advantage of college credit and accelerated coursework. Even though it was not as difficult as I thought it would be, it will count towards college and high school credits and can help graduate high school early!”

“Eastern Oregon University allowed me to be sure I was interested in the field of psychology before committing to a college. EOU gave me a college level understanding of the material from home. They allowed me to boost my education, get college credits early, and helped me be a step ahead when I graduate high school. Taking college classes through EOU is an amazing option! The classes are packed with information you can carry with you and use. The teachers and staff are supportive and there to help you succeed. I think taking this extra step while still in high…

“I like how simple Eastern Oregon University’s classes are! The college classes were not as difficult as I thought they would be and EOU was really helpful with all of their student resources. I am able to get ahead and save money by earning college credit while in high school and I highly recommend it to other students!”

“I like taking EOU classes for college credit because it allowed me to branch out from the traditional classes that my high school offers. Since I go to a smaller school, there weren’t many options for classes to choose from. EOU has a large selection for me to choose from, which has made it fun to earn my high school credits, while also earning college credits! For me, it has allowed me to not only get ahead academically, but also mentally. I feel like I’m better prepared for college now! If you are thinking about taking classes through EOU to…

“Taking a college class at Eastern Oregon University is a wonderful experience and a great way to gain new knowledge about EOU itself. EOU gives a great opportunity to pick classes you are interested in and is a good way to start thinking about what you want to study when you attend college. Even better, it was an opportunity to get both high school credit and college credit at the same time. My transcripts reflect that I took a college class in high school and I can show that when applying to universities after high school. EOU also offers help…

“I really liked taking a college class at EOU because I discovered what it was like to be a college student. I am interested in becoming a psychologist and EOU allowed me to take a college level psychology class. I think taking a class at EOU, while still in high school, is a brilliant thing to do. You earn college credits while still in high school, prepare yourself on how a college class works, and begin planning for college early because you know what to expect.”

“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…

“My experience with Eastern Oregon University has been fantastic. I have done the majority of my classes with EOU Online and I am very pleased with the staff, instructors, and advisors. I was worried about my financial aid and the staff never failed to reassure me and answer all questions quickly and completely. My advisor is amazing to work with and has made my transfer to EOU Online painless and smooth.”

“EOU Online allowed me to continue my education while also balancing family and work commitments. The courses challenged me and broadened my perspective. I had a great adviser who helped me navigate my degree. I knew I could count on their guidance and support, without which I might not have finished.”

“I have created friendships through my time in Phi Theta Kappa that allow me to see how reachable my goals are while encouraging me to further my personal growth with connections to students at EOU, which have become as important as the degree I am working toward. The rewards from my peers will stay with me forever and will impact the rest of my time here at EOU as well as later in my chosen career.”

“EOU online courses are great for working adults with careers who are looking to continue or complete their university coursework. A big part of why I will complete my degree through EOU online is because the professors are always available for advice and guidance. The advisors know the courses, professors, and ways to help students succeed.”

“I was really nervous about the idea of going back to school. I wasn’t sure if I could fit it into my regular life, where I’m married and work a full-time job. But I heard about EOU’s online program through a friend, and thought that kind of program could work for me. I started off with one class, and I’ve continued taking one class per quarter and chipping away at that degree. It’s taken me five years, but I’m really proud of myself for not giving up and continuing with my classes. I’m signed up for my final class this…

Mara Kalat
“I began studying for my bachelor’s degree at 28. As a non-traditional student I had years of life experience in both career and international travel. When Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) was recommended to me by a professor, I was intrigued. It helped me to analyze my prior career and travels from an academic perspective and realize what I had learned in my years outside of the classroom.”

Taylor Pasanello
“The APEL course at EOU was an absolute gamechanger for me. After searching for a university where I could pursue my degree in economics, I stumbled across EOU and the APEL course. Not only was I able to obtain a year’s worth of upper division credits in a single course, I learned APA style writing while simultaneously creating a professional website where I could host my resume. The amount of time and money you can save with APEL is incredible. Eastern Oregon University is way ahead of the game! College is difficult to navigate without a helping hand, but at…

Bonnie Mitchell
“The returning student and APEL programs at EOU have made my long-deferred goal of finishing my degree much more realistic. When I stopped attending EOU in 1995 to focus on raising my family, I always planned that I would go back to school. EOU’s quick returning student process allowed me to step back into taking classes. Working with my advisor, I realized that my real-life experiences over the last 20 years could help me earn credits toward a degree. Returning to college at a later stage in life is definitely not easy, but with the help and support of my…

“EOU is unlike any other theatre department. In my time at Eastern, I was able to participate in every aspect of production from acting, to design, to directing. EOU prepared me for my professional work and graduate school in more ways than I can count.”
