UNIVERSITY CENTERS

Central Washington University has six university centers in addition to the residential campus in Ellensburg. The university centers offer upper division (300-400 level) courses in selected degree areas and are designed for students who have completed their Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) associate degrees or most of the CWU General Education Requirements. The centers primarily offer evening classes to accommodate students who work during the day. Day classes/programs are offered at some locations. Prior to applying, contact the CWU center that you wish to attend and review the various pre-admission requirements. Apply online and send all official transcripts to that specific university center. Visit the university centers' Web site.
