“EOU allowed me to attend school fully online, which made it possible for me to work and help my family financially. It hasn’t been easy balancing a full-time job with full-time school, but I’m on a mission and I’m not willing to give up on my dreams. My advisor, Jacelyn Keys has helped me immensely in selecting classes and concentrations and, most importantly, believing in me. EOU has been a great experience and I would definitely choose this school again if I had to start over. I recommend EOU for everyone, especially people who enjoy small class sizes, need the flexibility of online courses, and want to pursue their dreams.”
