About Western Washington University

Western is an energized campus community with nearly 16,000 students and over 160 academic programs. Western offers the focus on students and the faculty access of a smaller college with the academic choice, opportunities for research, multicultural diversity, and room to grow of a large university. Not so big that you feel like a number; not so small that you have to conform to a mold. Large enough for you to define yourself and small enough that you make a difference. Making the most of a Western education means opening your mind, learning by doing, enriching the community, and shaping an academic adventure that is uniquely yours. You aren’t just getting an education; you are building a foundation for lifelong success. From the beautiful natural environment to the welcoming community of individuals inhabiting it, Western is a breath of fresh air and a wonderful place to call home.


Why Western Washington University

  • Campus Life: At Western, students will learn more about the world around them in a supportive environment, where they can define themselves and help make a difference. 
  • City:  Bellingham is located between two major cities (Vancouver and Seattle) and it is a safe, clean city with coffee shops, live music, and a thriving arts scene. The city has been noted for its cultural diversity, with its beautiful setting, climate, and relatively low costs for a West Coast location bringing many migrants to the area.
  • Enhanced teaching environment: Students receive personal attention in small classes to ensure they reach their goals, and 99% of all classes are taught by faculty, many of whom hold the highest degree in their field.
  • Practical experience: Undergraduate students have the opportunity to take part in research projects that give them practical experience in their field before graduating.
  • Career services: Students will be supported by mentors and have access to career services to seek opportunities and grow their networks.
