Blue Mountain Eagle
Grant County students of

Scholarship trust officers
said they expect to distribute
$560,000 in funds this year.

visions in their wills for a
perpetual scholarship.

trade or graduate school ed-
ucational expenses.

EOU named to ‘best of’ online lists
Blue Mountain Eagle
Three
independent
ranking sources for stu-
dents looking to complete
their college degree on-
line have named East-
ern Oregon University
to their “best of” lists for
2016.
EOU appears second
on the list of 50 best on-
line bachelor’s in educa-
tion published by College
Choice; fourth on the
roster of 50 best online
liberal arts colleges for
bachelor’s degrees re-
leased by The Best
Schools; and is in the top
seven schools, along with
Penn State and Purdue,
reviewed by College Val-
ues Online for afford-
able online economics
degrees.
“These rankings spot-
light what we believe are
the strengths of our on-
line programs — high ac-
ademic quality, flexibility
and curriculum keyed to
our students’ career plans
and success,” said Donald
Wolff, EOU’s interim vice
provost for Academic Af-
fairs.
Each site’s ranking sys-
tem is weighted slightly
different, with College
Choice looking at project-
ed earnings for graduates
and The Best Schools bas-
ing their selection on qual-
ity and types of programs
offered, faculty strengths,
school awards, rankings
and reputation. Similar-
ly, College Values Online
factors in academic excel-
lence, course offerings,
faculty strengths and rep-
utation.
