Eastern Washington University

Eastern Washington University (EWU) is a regional, comprehensive public university located in Cheney, Washington. EWU is a driving force for the culture, economy and vitality of the Inland Northwest region. The university's beautiful campus, NCAA Division I athletics and opportunities for hands-on, real-world learning provide a classic, yet unique college experience. A focus on personal attention, faculty excellence and community collaboration allows EWU to accomplish its mission for preparing well-rounded students ready to hit the ground running in their chosen career fields.

EWU's 300-acre park-like campus is just 17 miles from Washington's second largest city, Spokane. However, it is a matter of minutes from more than 20 lakes, beautiful mountains and the Turnbull National Wildlife refuge; all of which offer fishing, hiking, biking, boating, wildlife watching and more. This unique geographic positioning allows students the serenity to focus on their studies, the spirit of a small college town, the recreational opportunities of the Northwest and the invaluable internship opportunities and civic involvement offered by a major metropolitan area. It's no wonder more than 10,000 students (and counting) now make EWU their home away from home.

Why Eastern Washington University?

EWU is proud to offer the state's best economic value in public education. This has made EWU an institution of opportunity for many college students seeking an education that will provide them the skills and practical training critical to succeed in today's changing work environment. EWU also provides another kind of opportunity - to study one-of-a-kind, in-demand disciplines such as biotechnology, cyber security, forensic science, entrepreneurship, children's studies, dental hygiene and urban planning. In addition, EWU is the only regional university in the state to offer a doctorate, in physical therapy.
