america’s top educators are cWU Wildcats.

Central Washington University is a place where students get to do what they’re learning. Biology students and professors tag bull trout on Snoqualmie Pass. Music students perform on Benaroya Hall’s world-class stage. Faculty and students in geology site earthquake detection systems on dams, mountaintops, and coastlines.

The benefit to students is an educational experience made richer, more exciting, and more relevant by applying classroom knowledge to real situations. The benefit to employers is well educated and experienced graduates who are prepared for work on day-one because they’ve already moved beyond books to apply their knowledge in the field.

Small classes taught exclusively by professors allow students to work closely with faculty, to ask questions, and to engage in research as undergraduates. Faculty know their students’ names. Learning isn’t confined to the classroom. It’s part of the way we live.

“ I am very happy with what I got out of Central’s Environmental Studies program—it has opened my mind and many doors to environmental issues and concerns, where I know I will be able to make a difference.”

Clarissa Bulosan, ENST major
