In its first 100 years, Western Washington University grew from a small teacher's Washington college to a university that is one of the best regional public universities in the Northwest. The campus is beautiful, activities abound, the staff is friendly and helpful, and faculty members are excellent teachers and scholars. All of this adds up to an outstanding college experience at a modest price.

Western Washington University is a student-centered university. Students expand their interests and perspectives. We combine the academic distinction and personal attention of a smaller, private college and the choices and variety of a comprehensive university. This Washington college is committed to the notion that outstanding faculty scholarship and inspired teaching can and should go together.

Students learn a great deal at Western Washington University. But the most important knowledge they will acquire is the knowledge of how to learn, which will help them to continue their education for the rest of their lives. Take the initiative to learn at Western Washington University, learn from the initiatives of others, and share knowledge with the world beyond our doors.
