Crimson Carpet

We are proud to have you join the CWU family. Thanks for attending Wildcat Day, your introduction to academic programs, campus resources, clubs and organizations, and much

more.

It is important to acknowledge that Central Washington University resides on the ancestral lands of the Yakama Nation. That knowledge calls us to commit to learning how we can be

good stewards of this land and recognize how our actions contribute to larger systems. With gratitude, we honor the land and the original people, who stewarded it through the

generations, and we give thanks to their legacy, their lives, and their descendants.

WELCOME WILDCATS!WELCOME WILDCATS!

AT CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, YOU’LL FIND THE MAJOR YOU WANT AND LEARN FROM

AWARD-WINNING FACULTY

CWU offers many exciting degree programs. Central is a place where students get to do what they’re learning. Biology students and professors tag bull trout at Snoqualmie Pass. Music students perform at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Faculty and students in geology site earthquake detection systems on dams, mountaintops, and coastlines.

Central is committed to hands-on learning, discovery and individual attention. Learning is exciting and relevant when it takes place beyond the limits of the classroom and books. The benefit to students is an education experience made richer and more stimulating. The benefit to employers is experienced graduates who are prepared for work on day one.

Your CWU undergraduate education begins with a search of our many programs to see which one is the best fit for you. Use the program search tool on the CWU homepage to find your program interest.
