UNIVERSITy MISSION EOU guides student inquiry through integrated, high quality liberal arts and professional programs that lead to responsible and reflective action in a diverse and interconnected world. As an educational, cultural and scholarly center, EOU con- nects the rural regions of Oregon to a wider world. Our beauti- ful setting and small size enhance the personal attention our students receive, while partnerships with colleges, universi- ties, agencies and communities add to the educational pos- sibilities of our region and state. EDUCATIONAL PRINCIPLES -Education of the Whole Person- EOU encourages students to develop as people through a variety of experiences, including academics, co-curricular activities, and the four cornerstones of research, community service, internships or mentoring, and international or inter- cultural experiences. -Liberal Arts for Lifelong Learning- Through the rich legacy of the liberal arts, EOU challenges students to become critical, creative thinkers and engaged, knowledgeable citizens, open to new ways of looking at, and living within, the world. -Teacher Education for a New Time- EOU continues its founding heritage by preparing teachers who are academically competent, socially and culturally sen- sitive, personally capable and professionally accomplished, in order to facilitate learning in 21st century schools. -Preparation for the Changing World of Work- EOU’s programs in business, education and the liberal arts, and its partnerships in fields such as the agricultural scienc- es and nursing, allow students to gain the knowledge and skills needed to succeed as ethical professionals in a global economy. -The Value of Diversity- EOU helps its students, faculty, and staff, live and work as problem solvers committed to social justice and to creating communities that value equally the contributions of people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, classes and cultures. -Access to Quality- EOU’s commitment to quality extends beyond its campus. As an innovative leader in distance and online education, EOU helps students throughout Oregon and beyond enhance their lives through education. -A Climate of Support- EOU supports students in their learning and supports its fac- ulty and staff in their collective work of educating students and contributing to the cultural and scholarly heritage of our region and world.

The Division of Distance Education serves the aca- demic and advising needs of over 1,500 distance education degree seekers each year. Comprehensive academic advis- ing and degree mapping are the hallmarks of the EOU ap- proach.

These 93 credits also include the following limits: a. Of the 45 practicum credits allowed in the degree re- quirement, no more than 15 hours may be in the same practicum experience.

CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION STUDENTS Students must be enrolled in planned degree course work or validated by their Distance Education adviser as actively progressing in Assessment of Prior Experiential Learning, so that college attendance (at EOU or another Oregon accred- ited institution) is not interrupted for three or more consecu- tive quarters, not counting summers. If such an interruption occurs, students may have to meet different EOU graduation requirements. Continuous enrollment begins with enrollment in the first EOU course, after admission to EOU. distance education General Information8
