13 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Advising Information When admitted to Eastern Oregon University, all students will be assigned to an advisor who will assist in planning an academic program and help select the courses needed to achieve the student’s goals. An advisor serves as the coordinator of a student’s educational experience.
Newly admitted students, all students with 44 or fewer earned credits, and students on academic probation are required to have their advisor’s approval prior to registration each term. However, students are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with their advisor at any time to discuss academic programs, to seek other kinds of assistance, or to just talk and ask questions. Although an advisor may not be able to solve all problems or answer all questions, they can refer students to other campus offices for assistance. Students pursuing their degree via online/onsite coursework should consult with their advisor prior to registering each term.
Academic Advisors are eager to help you each step of the way, but in the end students are responsible for keeping track of their degree requirements and progress. DegreeWorks, an online degree audit tool, will help you know exactly where you are. Advisors are happy to walk you through DegreeWorks and show you how to use it to keep track of your progress and degree requirements.
ON-CAMPUS ADVISING When admitted to Eastern Oregon University, all on campus students will be assigned to an Academic Advisor who will assist with planning an academic program and selecting appropriate courses. Students are assigned to an advisor who is in the same academic program as the student’s intended major. Each college has Academic Advisors who work with students in particular major programs, and with exploratory students as well.
As students move through their intended major, Faculty Advisors are assigned to support their program of study. Questions? Email us at [email protected].
OFF-CAMPUS ADVISING Students residing in Oregon will be assigned to an Academic Advisor in their area. Students residing outside the state of Oregon will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will work with them through their degree programs and on to graduation. All online students are expected to complete a Degree Planning Workshop in collaboration with their advisors. This can be done online, or in a face-to-face meeting. Students may also have advising assistance from a discipline faculty advisor upon declaration of their major. Questions? Email us at [email protected].
WEB REGISTRATION Registration for classes at Eastern is done online using Webster, which is a dynamic system allowing continuous changes in course selection until term deadlines occur. Student personal information, financial aid information, and account information are also available in Webster. Complete instructions for Web registration can be found at the website my.eou.edu.

34 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Institutional Graduation Requirements Graduation requirements reflect our belief that an undergraduate education should provide both breadth and depth and that all educated individuals should possess certain skills, especially the ability to express themselves in writing, in speaking, and in the language of mathematics. The general education curriculum rests on the assumption that every educated person should have some acquaintance with certain traditional areas of human knowledge and experience and be able to synthesize and contextualize this knowledge within their own lives.

42 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (541) 962-3859 www.eou.edu/cahss
The College of Art, Humanities and Social Science is organized into divisions that deliver 9 Majors and 12 Minors. Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences faculty are the heart of the liberal arts degrees at Eastern Oregon University, serving all students, whether they are taking on- campus, onsite or online courses. The faculty are deeply engaged in a learning partnership with their students, and also in laboratories, studios, theatres, music practice rooms, computing and writing facilities, and networked media all over campus and beyond.
The goal of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences is to prepare our graduates for life in a complex society by providing each student with the opportunity to develop those characteristics that distinguish the educated citizen. The College provides students with the opportunity to develop proficiencies in the following University Learning Outcomes: 1. Breadth of Knowledge - Breadth of knowledge that inspires lifelong learning and curiosity. 2. Inquire, Create, and Communicate - Ability to effectively communicate and act upon critical and creative modes of inquiry. Ability to effectively acquire, analyze, and synthesize information. 3. Community Engagement and Personal and Social Responsibility - Engages with diverse discourse communities and acts in inclusive ways within a group. 4. Integrated Learning - Pragmatic applications, Cross- disciplinary connections, Process-based learning.
To achieve a liberal arts mission, the College fosters and features excellence and innovation in instruction, active and collaborative learning, independent student research and creativity, outreach and distance delivery of its programs, and interdisciplinary modes of learning. College programs ensure both depth and breadth of learning. Depth is realized through intense training in a major. Breadth results from the assimilation of the substance, approach, and insights of several different disciplines through minors and general education requirements.
One of the hallmarks of an EOU education is the extent to which faculty actively involve themselves in the students’ educational process. This involvement is based on the deep learning our faculty have in their several disciplines and also on their own continuing growth and development, as they discover, create, research, and publish their contributions to the world’s knowledge. Every EOU student has the opportunity to know one of these faculty members as a personal mentor. Students have a broad array of practica and internships that will give them practical training in different settings. They will be prepared for the real world around them through real opportunities for engaged citizenship and international experiences.
The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences offers myriad opportunities for this personal attention - from the Grande Ronde Symphony to the Community Chorus, from collaborative art events to KEOL Radio, from Ars Poetica to the Indian Arts Festival. In all of these venues the faculty guide students into habits of critical and creative thinking, into effective writing and communication skills, into mastery of the venerable traditional subjects and new applications of these subjects in the world and the workplace.

58 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Communication Studies
Eastern Oregon University offers an online and on-campus interdisciplinary Communication Studies program leading to a Bachelor of Sciences or a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Students can choose the Communication Studies Major or Minor and select elective paths that explore the scope of human communication. For example: speech, interpersonal, business and new media communication.
The Communication Studies program is a cooperative learning community aimed at growing the next generation of community builders with rhetorical efficiency, interpersonal effectiveness, intercultural competency, ethical sensitiveness, and platform savvy. The curriculum helps students to plan three tracks - business communication, media communication, and general human communication. Specifically, students with a degree can enter communication-related fields such as public relations, print/broadcast journalism, advertising, government, marketing, management, fundraising, education, healthcare, consulting, military, human resource, entertainment, and digital media production, to name a few. They also can pursue graduate studies in communication and other humanities and social science areas.

62 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY English/Writing PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in English/Writing provides a solid background in writing, rhetoric, and literature/film. Courses stress analysis, confident and original writing, and tolerance for diversity of thought. Students are encouraged to select appropriate minors, engage in interdisciplinary studies, and complete advanced studies in modern languages, computer applications, allied arts, or second majors.
English/Writing majors are strongly advised to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree because learning a second language is key to understanding the English language. A second language is often also required at the graduate level for the same reason, so the preparation at the undergraduate level saves time and effort later. All students should carefully consult with and follow recommendations of their major advisers for timely completion of general education and degree requirements.
The English/Writing major and minor and the Interdisciplinary Writing and Rhetoric minor are available on campus and online with slight differences in course offerings.
English/Writing graduates possess excellent communication and critical thinking skills. Graduates continue to advanced study in literature, creative writing, and rhetoric, master’s work in education, and law school. Graduates pursue careers in journalism, politics, freelance writing, teaching, arts administration, editing and publishing, screen writing, film production, and tribal education and administration. Other post- graduate areas of career opportunity include business venues and NGOs that value clear-minded and creative thinking as well as writing and communication skills.

91 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Native American Studies
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The Native American Studies Minor integrates a wide variety of academic areas, including anthropology, history, political science, economics, business and law. The overall objective of the program is to increase the diversity of the EOU educational process. Students can complete their minors both on and off campus due to the diversity of offerings in both teaching areas. The minor will lead to a greater understanding of Native American peoples who have had significant roles in the history and tenure of North America. Knowledge of Native American people’s general and specific belief systems benefits EOU students in all fields of study. Awareness of their continuing political role in tribal, federal, state and local government activities enhances the overall knowledge of our students, including people in applied fields of study such as anthropology, education and business. It is also important for our students to recognize the U.S. Government’s federal trust responsibility toward treaty rights.

The disciplines of political science and economics provide the intellectual foundation for exploring societal problems, the development of public policy, and critical policy analysis. Politics and Economics prepares students with the knowledge and skills necessary for life-long success in a variety of stimulating and challenging careers, including teaching, legislative advocacy, non-profit agency leadership, federal, state and local governmental service, and others. Politics and Economics focus on civic engagement imbues students with the analytic skills and knowledge of institutional processes that drive public policy questions, permitting our graduates to make a positive contribution to their communities. Politics and Economics provides excellent undergraduate preparation for student success in law school, along with pursuing graduate studies in political science and economics.

95 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Political Science PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The goal for study in political science is to maximize students’ capacity to analyze and interpret the significance and dynamics of political events and governmental processes. The purpose is not simply to arouse curiosity, purvey factual information, or reveal the significance of political events and issues. Instead, study in political science is intended to equip students for managing the effects of politics on themselves and society, while equipping them with the tools to evaluate and shape future political action. Political Science should prepare politically interested and concerned students to deal with their political world after graduation, in ways appropriate to their individual inclinations as actively engaged citizens in our democratic society.
Courses in political science are an integral facet of a well- rounded liberal arts education and valuable to students from all academic disciplines. Students are encouraged to connect and apply their knowledge and skills to real-life political situations in off-campus settings during their time at Eastern.

Total program: 30 credits
MEANS OF ASSESSMENT Political Science students are evaluated in a variety of ways across the curriculum. Evaluation modes and strategies attempt to measure program learning outcomes. Objective exams measure student mastery of the concepts, critical thinking and logic skills underlying the study of political science. Writing in a variety of formats including policy memoranda, short essay examinations, critical reading summaries, and research papers of varying length hone the student’s abilities in communication, persuasion, and critical thinking. Role-playing exercises and group processes improve the student’s ability to work in collaborative situations. Students are encouraged to self- assess their own learning as well as develop an understanding of the evaluative strategies utilized by faculty members.

104 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Theatre PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The EOU Theatre Program, with a diversified curriculum leading to a B.A. or B.S. in theatre, places an emphasis on academic excellence, production, creativity, and hands-on learning. Both the B.S. and the B.A. explore the role of theatre as a voice and a mirror for the cultural behaviors of all human beings. Our objective is to prepare students in the theatrical world for either graduate work in the discipline, teaching, or other creative professional endeavors. Students after completing the Theatre required core can finish their degree as actors, directors, designers, stage managers, dramaturges or theatre generalists. One major aspect of the Theatre major when coupled with a Music minor geared toward the vocal performer would create a degree that encompasses Musical Theatre that includes acting, voice and dance. Another aspect for those students contemplating a minor is that with in the Theatre minor, a distance student may complete those courses with in the minor that are taught online and complete the Theatre minor.

Health Sciences (541) 962-3316 www.eou.edu/cstmhs
The STM-HS is organized into departments that deliver 6 Majors and 10 Minors and thirteen pre-professional programs. STM-HS faculty are the heart of the liberal arts degrees at Eastern Oregon University, serving all students, whether they are taking on-campus, on-site or on-line courses. The faculty are deeply engaged in a learning partnership with their students.
The goal of the College of STM-HS is to prepare our graduates for life in a complex society by providing each student with the opportunity to develop those characteristics that distinguish the educated citizen. The College provides students with the opportunity to develop proficiencies in the following University Learning Outcomes:
1. Breadth of Knowledge - Breadth of knowledge that inspires lifelong learning and curiosity. 2. Inquire, Create, and Communicate - Ability to effectively communicate and act upon critical and creative modes of inquiry. Ability to effectively acquire, analyze, and synthesize information. 3. Community Engagement and Personal and Social Responsibility - Engages with diverse discourse communities and acts in inclusive ways within a group. 4. Integrated Learning - Pragmatic applications, cross-disciplinary connections, process-based learning.
To achieve a liberal arts and sciences mission, the College fosters and features excellence and innovation in instruction, active and collaborative learning, independent student research and creativity, outreach and distance delivery of its programs, and interdisciplinary modes of learning. College programs ensure both depth and breadth of learning. Depth is realized through intense training in a major. Breadth results from the assimilation of the substance, approach, and insights of several different disciplines through minors and general education requirements.
One of the hallmarks of an EOU education is the extent to which faculty actively involve themselves in the students’ educational process. This involvement is based on the deep learning our faculty have in their several disciplines and also on their own continuing growth and development, as they discover, create, research, and publish their contributions to the world’s knowledge. Every EOU student has the opportunity to know one of these faculty members as a personal mentor. Students have a broad array of practica and internships that will give them practical training in different settings. They will be prepared for the real world around them through real opportunities for engaged citizenship and international experiences.
The College of STM-HS offers myriad opportunities for this personal attention - from the Chemistry Club to the Science Journal. In all of these venues the faculty guide students into habits of critical and creative thinking, into effective writing and communication skills, into mastery of the venerable traditional subjects and new applications of these subjects in the world and the workplace.
167 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Biology PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The Biology program offers two options for specialization in the field of biology, one in ecological biology and one in pre-health professions & molecular biology. Both degree options provide knowledge of the biological sciences necessary for students pursuing careers, graduate study, or professional study for which a baccalaureate degree is appropriate. The courses provide knowledge needed by students in related fields, such as nursing, secondary education, wildlife, agriculture, and forestry, as well as providing knowledge desired by students majoring in other disciplines both within and outside of the College STM-HS. Other objectives include emphasizing to students the importance of experience and proficiency in several sciences related to biology, especially chemistry and physics; helping students develop and use precise, critical and independent thought; increasing students’ perception, understanding, and appreciation of themselves and their environment; creating in students an awareness of and interest in the role of biological sciences in meeting social and economic needs; and to make available to residents of Eastern Oregon the individual and combined resources of the biology faculty.

Beyond the general outcomes attained by every biology student, the MEANS OF ASSESSMENT graduates of each concentration will gain specific topical knowledge Students will be assessed using a number of criteria. First, all related to either ecological biology or molecular biology. students completing a biology major must do so with an overall minimum GPA of 2.00 and no grade lower than a “C-” in required biology courses. Second, students must complete all homework, writing assignments, exams, and other assigned work as required for each course. Third, students will be required to demonstrate problem-solving and critical-thinking skills in a wide variety of upper division lecture and lab courses. Finally, students will be required in several mandatory courses to conduct research and summarize current research both in the primary literature and in review articles.

205 EASTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY Pre-Professional Health Studies and Transfer Programs
One of the most rapidly expanding career fields today is that of the health sciences. At Eastern Oregon University students planning to enter a professional program in the health care field take their foundation courses through the pre-professional sequences. The liberal arts general education curriculum offered at EOU ensures students develop the strong foundational competencies required by the professional schools. EOU prepares the pre-professional student through academic groundwork and development, which encompasses the major field of study, the mastery of specific scientific principles, and advanced coursework.
There is no “best” major to gain entry into the professional school that requires a degree, although many EOU students complete a biology or chemistry-biochemistry degree as they encompass many of the prerequisite courses. Admission committees welcome majors outside of the sciences, but students need to be aware of the potential for an additional time commitment for completion of the prerequisite coursework. A major choice should be guided primarily by a student’s own intellectual interests and aptitudes and they find to be interesting, challenging and satisfying. Most students perform better in a major that captures their interests.
Depending upon the academic area, the College of STM-HS offers coursework paralleling requirements of universities from which degrees in those areas are offered. Upon completion of pre-professional coursework at EOU, students may then transfer to institutions offering the undergraduate, advanced degree, or training program. Although not an exhaustive list, following are health care fields typically pursued by EOU students.
HEALTH SCIENCES PRE-LAW One of the most rapidly expanding career fields today is that of the Gaining entrance to law school normally requires completion of a health sciences.

Statistics courses are offered in order to: • Provide an introduction to statistical procedures as part of the critical analysis of information, and • Provide the background necessary for the application of statistical methods to various disciplines.
Students whose programs require statistics may wish to consider two options. (1) Those with strong math skills may take STAT 327 (5 credits), which is a fast-paced introduction to statistics. (2) Those with weaker math skills may begin with STAT 243 (4 credits). After completing MATH 111 (College Algebra) these students may take STAT 352 (4 credits). Note that STAT 327 is offered online as well as on-campus, while STAT 352 is offered on-campus only. Students should consult their advisors to determine which path is best for them.
