    La Grande resident Keith Walker worked with EOU to review what courses he had taken in his job and how it could apply to a degree. He was awarded credit for 18 hours of training and coursework using EOU’s Credit for Prior Learning, a savings of over $4,000 toward his education! Find out how you can use your work experience to earn your degree!

    “(EOU’s Credit for Prior Learning is) a great asset, I’ve got 15 years of accumulation (of coursework I had to take for my job). It’s a great tool for people outside the standard box. It got me where I wanted to go.”

    “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!”

    “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 be an advisor for college-seeking Veterans, too.”
