Distance learners can pursue their bachelor's degree entirely online. EOU offers more than 30 majors and minors, including an individualized integrative studies option. Available graduate programs include a fully online MBA, a fully online master's in education, and two low-residency master's degrees in teaching and creative writing, respectively. First-time freshmen must submit a completed application, transcripts, and ACT or SAT scores. All applicants must pay a $50 fee.

Admissions Breakdown
Acceptance Rate Insight
82% of students were accepted during the 2020-2021 school year. Sometimes schools with midrange acceptance rates have higher standards of entry but are still accessible to many students who apply.
Retention Rate Insight
85% of full-time students stayed to continue their studies the following academic year. These students started in Fall 2019 and returned in Fall 2020.
Graduation Rate Insight
69% of students graduated out of all full-time, first-time students who began their studies in Fall 2014. Keep in mind many students who enroll are not typically first-time students, as most are adult learners. Therefore, the number of first-time students is traditionally low.
