OSU, EOU see growth in online programs
By ANDREW THEEN
Oregonian/OregonLive
In 2002, Oregon State Univer-
sity’s distance education program
looked sort of like a Blockbuster
video store.
The school had a storage room
in Corvallis with lectures on VHS
tapes, which staff would mail to
students enrolled at OSU who
rarely set foot on the main campus.
Today,
OSU’s
so-called
“Ecampus” is a juggernaut,
routinely recognized on national
lists as one of the best online
curriculums in the country. If the
program itself were a university,
it would be the fourth-largest in
Oregon. More than 5,000 full-
time OSU students take classes
exclusively online, compared with
24,500 students on campus.
Enrollment at Eastern Oregon
University is smaller, with about
1,200 students on campus, but
another 800 study exclusively over
the internet.
Students take courses from
the same professors who would
lecture in Corvallis or La Grande
and have easy access to advisers
and other campus services. Both
schools target students who started
college but never inished.
Flexibility is the name of the
game in the online classroom.
EO ile photo
Eastern Oregon University has 1,200 enrolled full-time students
on campus with another 800 students enrolled online.
For the most part, the education
is on-demand. Students can watch
videos of recorded lectures at their
leisure and participate in interac-
tive assignments from home. Both
schools give students the option
of taking inals in person but at
locations off-campus.
Oregon State expects online
enrollment to more than double in
the next decade, while creeping up
roughly 15 percent on the ground
in Corvallis.
OSU sees the online program as
a way to expand its brand and visi-
bility nationally. Currently, nearly
three-quarters of its online-only
students live outside Oregon.
“We’re not just a land grant for
Oregon,” said Steve Clark, OSU’s
spokesman of the university’s roots
as a university with a footprint
in every county in the state. “We
think of ourselves as a land-grant
for the world.”
Eastern Oregon University,
the state’s smallest public school
situated in rural La Grande, is also
all-in for online education.
Roughly the same number of
students take classes full-time at
Eastern online as in person. “I see
it as a major part of our strategic
growth,” President Tom Insko said,
“as well as our service mission as
an institution.”
Eastern began teaching distance
education courses in 1979. Despite
the localized branding, it has
ofices dispersed across the state
— from Gresham, to Roseburg, to
Ontario.
The university says it’s a hybrid
model, where students can go to
one of the 11 centers for some
coursework if they desire, or to
meet face-to-face with faculty or
staff, depending on the location or
program.
More than half of the faculty
members teaching classes this fall
have at least one course online.
Insko said the school, which
has endured enrollment declines
and numerous leadership changes,
is trying to offer more options for
students to inish degrees. The state
wants 40 percent of Oregonians to
hold at least a bachelor’s degree by
2025.
OSU, too, says it is helping
fulill the state’s graduation goals.
A record 692 completed one of the
university’s more than 45 online
degree options last year.
Lisa Templeton, the Ecampus
executive director, said online

learning is not for everyone.
“You have to be self-motivated,”
she said, “It’s deinitely not easy.”
The online program employs 65
designers, developers and admin-
istrators. Coursework is vetted
through the same academic process
as other classes, and instructors go
through training with Templeton’s
staff to develop online curriculum.
Oregon State classes online
cost more than on campus. A full
course load of 15 credit hours for
an undergraduate student online
is about $4,200, some $750 more
than for on-campus Oregon
students.
But the online program is a
bargain for out-of-state students.
Whereas on-campus tuition is
higher for non-Oregonians, online
classes cost the same regardless of
where a student lives. Non-Orego-
nians can save more than $5,400
per term by taking courses at home
rather than in Corvallis.
Templeton said OSU can
continue to grow because there
will always be students who want
to take a class or inish a degree,
but can’t uproot their whole lives
to do it.
“They might have a job, they
might have kids,” she said, “and
getting to Corvallis at 10 a.m. on
a Tuesday for class just isn’t in the
picture.”
