Student success is the focus and measure of everything we do at CWU. Founded in 1891, the Ellensburg campus is located in the heart of Washington State.
CWU educates students from all corners of the state. Our name is regional, but our students are not. Students choose CWU to avoid the anonymity of big schools.
Our students live and learn on a close-knit campus and in an historic college town. Classes are small enough that professors know their students' names and engage them directly in research as undergraduates.
Our programs are among the best in the nation--geology, education, aviation, music, and accounting. We also offer programs that simply don't exist anywhere else in the region like wine business, sports marketing, and paramedicine.
