Western Washington University

We are a student-focused school of business and economics engaged in scholarly and professional activities that contribute to the well-being of society.Educational FocusAs part of Western Washington University, the College aims to include a broad perspective based on the liberal arts as part of our education. We believe in the values articulated by Western Washington University, especially those of student engagement with the faculty and the community, the building of professional skills, an environment with diverse perspectives, and responsibility for stewardship of resources, whether they be financial, human, or environmental. We believe to accomplish our goals our faculty must be teacher-scholars—faculty with a strong disciplinary home and expertise who also are motivated to teach and continually innovate in their teaching.Student FocusThe College mainly serves traditional-age undergraduate students from the state of Washington, and primarily from the western part of the state. However, we welcome students from the region, nation, and world and from all backgrounds. We educate both students whose only higher education experiences have been at Western and those transferring from other institutions, especially community colleges.
