Program Background
In 1989, WSU Vancouver was formally established as a branch campus within the state's land-grant institution, Washington State University. At that time, branch campuses in the state of Washington were authorized to offer junior-, senior- and graduate level courses. Following a 2004 legislative request of each branch campus to conduct a self study, WSU Vancouver recommended that the campus expand to offer four year programs and continue research university status to meet the educational needs of the region. In 2005, legislation was passed to alter the role of the branch campuses in Washington State. WSU Vancouver is now authorized and funded to offer lower division courses and accept freshman students, in addition to transfer students, in Fall 2006.
We welcome participation from faculty, staff, community members and prospective students as this program evolves and is implemented.
