Eastern Washington University is a regional, comprehensive public university located in Cheney, Wash., with programs also offered in Bellevue, Everett, Kent, Seattle, Shoreline, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver and Yakima.
Eastern 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 Eastern to accomplish its mission for preparing well-rounded students ready to hit the ground running in their chosen career fields.
Eastern's 300-acre parklike 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.
Eastern is now the state's fastest growing public institution, yet maintains a 20:1 student-faculty ratio. This momentum can also be seen through structural changes around campus, including renovation of Roos Field (formerly Woodward Field) with the nation's first-ever red synthetic turf; the $26.3 million Recreation Center, complete with a NHL-size hockey rink, climbing wall, sports courts and state-of-the-art fitness center; the current remodeling of Patterson Hall and the recently completed renovation of historic Hargreaves Hall.
