Preparing Students for Life Success

WSU provides a supportive learning community for its students focused on preparing them for career success and a future as global citizens motivated to contribute to the common good. The curriculum requires completion of University Common Requirements (UCORE) courses that build skills in seven key areas of development: critical and creative thinking, quantitative reasoning, scientific literacy, information literacy, communication, diversity, and integration of learning. WSU faculty have a well-deserved reputation for their commitment to the success of students, which is frequently demonstrated by being accessible outside of classroom hours.

A comprehensive institution, the university is organized into 10 degree-granting academic colleges as well as the Honors College, Graduate School, WSU Libraries, and WSU Extension:

  • College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS)
