Our preferred future…

Students in the mid-Columbia region see WSU Tri-Cities as their first choice and their most affordable, four-year degree option. Staff are well-known for reducing barriers and accommodating each student’s unique needs. They are experts in reaching underserved and underrepresented populations and maximizing access to high-quality education, regardless of physical, socioeconomic, or geographic limitations. Flexible scheduling, robust support services and affordable options for attendance present the best opportunities for student success.
