Washington State University Top Questions

Describe how your school looks to someone who's never seen it.

Lauren

Washington State University is a large research school that focuses on preparing students to find real jobs once they graduate, mainly in the fields of business, communications, and agriculture, that has an active social scene on campus comprised of both greeks and non-greeks, with tons of school spirit, fun stuff to do, and a beautiful location right in the middle of the Palouse.

Amy

WSU is a great place to do research and get a great education, but it is also a fun place to party!

Mary

A lack of balance in funding.

Joanne

My university offers multiple courses of study which are consistently ranked among the best in the nation--Top 20 or better. The overall approach to education is traditional and conservative, however, there is a strong Distance Learning component that is well-respected, if limited in its course of study options. Throughout the campus community there is a strong ethical code and environmentally-conscious"core culture" that crosses all categories (staff, alumni, students, faculty). The university graduate school has a strong research component, while the primary undergraduate focus is strong academic performance with the Critical Thinking Rubric at its foundation.
