What are the graduation rates for students at Eastern Oregon University?

Eastern Oregon University's reported six-year graduation rate is 43% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 29%. These figures describe earlier entering cohorts followed over different periods, not the likelihood that a newly admitted individual will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 71%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the relevant first-time cohort returned the next fall. Standard first-time, full-time graduation rates do not capture the outcomes of all transfer students, part-time students or returning adults - groups that are relevant to EOU's enrollment. Prospective students can use the figures to ask about course sequencing, advising and the feasibility of their own intended graduation timetable without treating the rates as an explanation of why students did or did not finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Eastern Oregon University?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings for some Eastern Oregon University programs one year after completion. These are observed outcomes for the students represented in the federal measure, not starting-salary offers or predictions for everyone who earns a degree.

Among the reported one-year figures, business administration is $41,245, liberal arts and general studies is $38,913, and psychology is $29,687. The measure reflects earnings captured for eligible former students with available records; it does not describe every graduate, every type of work or long-term career progression. Comparisons between majors also need care because graduates may enter different occupations, pursue further education or work in different labor markets.

EOU reports career support that can help students explore options, but services should not be confused with verified employment outcomes. An applicant comparing programs may find the earnings figures most useful alongside curriculum, likely credential requirements, total borrowing and the kinds of jobs a degree prepares them to seek.
