EOU considers its mission to provide integrated, high-quality liberal arts and professional programs by being an educational and cultural center that connects Oregon’s rural regions to a wider world.

Tuition and fee charges are based on a term of 15 credit hours. Individual expenses are bound to vary depending on the choice of room and board facilities as well as personal and transportation expenses.

Health insurance is required for students enrolled in 6 or more credit hours with the exception of international students who may be required to pay the cost of international health insurance in the amount of $ 220.00 per term regardless of the number of credits.
