Eastern Oregon University

The college of Psychology at Eastern Oregon University was great and set me up very well for my Master's of Social Work Program. The professors provided great insight into the profession, as well as offered extremely life-like interviews and intake sessions that allowed me to practice for many of the things that I do on a daily basis now. My advisor for my thesis guided me expertly through the research process and allowed me to combine my passions for science and art in very innovative and educational... Read More ways.

I loved attending EOU for two years. I was a transfer student who lived in the dorms the first year and then lived off campus the second year and I would not have changed anything. I dorms gave me so many opportunities to make friends and try new things and then through the friend making process I was a able to find roommates to live off-campus the next year. The classes are of good size so that you can easily have one-on-one time with the teacher to get the extra help you need. Any questions you...

The online experience at EOU was invaluable to helping me get my Bachelor's degree. The English department and its faculty rank at the highest level in my opinion. despite being a distance-ed student, I felt like I was able to form a relationship with each of my instructors that fostered a productive learning environment. I was the first online student to recieve the oustanding senior award in English at EOU; an achievement that was gained because of the faculty and their willingness to reach beyond...

I am an online student and graduate this Spring 2018. My experience as an online student has been truly amazing. All of my instructors have been helpful when I had questions and encouraging toward me. My initial advisor did an amazing job staying on top of things for me until I got up to speed. The Canvas dashboard is easy to use and navigate when taking courses. The staff in the admissions, registers office, tech support, professor get a A+++. EOU is very affordable, I plan on getting my Masters... Read More as well. They could add more Graduate Programs in my opinion.

I had a hard time with my advisor. I was completely online and when I would ask for help I was given wrong information and come to the end of my degree I was forced out of the school because I had too many credits. The final term I was accused of plagiarizing myself by a professor who had approved my proposal of writing my paper for two different classes covering the same subject. It was not till the end of the term when she failed me and turned me in for plagiarizing. When I brought it up with my... Read More advisor they did nothing to help me.

Eastern Oregon University is located in La Grande, Oregon. It has a small town feel with lots of outdoor recreational opportunities to engage in. All the professors were easy to talk to, very helpful and took pride in their work. I would recommend EOU for anyone who wants to feel safe, be within walking distance to most places and interact with the locals. The campus is nice, the people are nice and most seem to feel right at home. EOU is for anyone who wants to be at a university and enjoy a small... Read More community. The town is surrounded by mountains with rivers and hiking trails. EOU IS FOR YOU!

I was a transfer student to EOU with numerous credits from other institutions but no degree finished from any of them. I was living in rural NE Oregon and needed a distance program to complete my bachelors to be eligible to apply for jobs in the Fish and Wildlife area. Eastern was the most affordable distance program and also allowed me to take Oregon State University's Fish and Wildlife curriculum through them. I was able to complete my degree mostly online and this allowed me to pursue a career... Read More in Wildlife biology. I did have to spend 1 quarter on-campus, but this worked out quite well and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

The program is in its beginning stages but is unique in that it will open up change in all its participants. I look forward to learning all I can from the continued involvement in the program. It is one thing to dream, but to have others read and respond to your dreaming is exciting. Creative writing opens up the possibility of new imaginary realms in which to explore as well and gives a voice to what has been silent or overlooked. This program is a combination of online and residency. The good thing... Read More is that it draws on students from far-flung distances. Some drawbacks could be that it is still in its formative stages but this is a very exciting thing, too.
