I've been looking at some colleges and got a recommendation for Ellensburg University. Before I look deeper into it, I was hoping if anyone could give me some information or their experience with this university?
I believe there may be a mix-up here, as there doesn't currently seem to be an institution named "Ellensburg University." However, there is a university located in Ellensburg, Washington called Central Washington University (CWU).
If you meant CWU, it is a public institution located about two hours east of Seattle. It offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs in fields such as business, education, the sciences, and the arts. The most popular majors at CWU include Business Administration and Management, Psychology, and Elementary Education & Teaching.
CWU also offers a unique focus on hands-on learning experiences. Thanks to its location, there are ample opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration, giving their environmental and geological majors much scope for field studies. Scholarly research, internships, study abroad, and service-learning projects are incorporated into multiple academic programs.
Additionally, CWU has a student-driven approach in its academics, meaning smaller class sizes and a supportive learning environment. Around 12,000 students attend the university, so it has a more intimate, close-knit feel than larger state schools, and the student-to-faculty ratio is about 19:1.
However, do note that all these details should be used as a starting point for your research. You'll want to look at a variety of factors that matter to you personally when deciding whether to apply. This might include things like cost, financial aid, specific academic programs, and the student life offerings.
