C areers e dition 2011 Cuts wsu-Vancouver Offers wide Variety of study continued from page 1 ashington State University Vancouver provides quality education to the residents of Southwest Washington and the Portland metropolitan area. With a student population of 3,000, WSU Vancouver offers a small-college atmosphere with public university access. The beautiful 351-acre campus is located just 10 miles north of Portland up I-5 or I-205. Education - WSU Vancouver delivers personalized education that enhances the intellectual, creative and practical abilities of its students. The university current- ly offers 18 bachelor’s degrees, 10 master’s degrees and more than 37 fields of study. Bachelor’s degrees - anthropology, biology, business administration, computer science, digital technology and culture, education, electrical engineering, English, envi- ronmental science, history, human development, human- ities, mechanical engineering, nursing, psychology, pub- lic affairs, social sciences and sociology. Master’s degrees - accounting (MACC), business administration (MBA), computer science (MS), educa- tion (EdM), environmental science (MS), history (MA), mechanical engineering (MS), nursing (MN), public affairs (MPA), and teaching (MIT). WSU Vancouver also offers a doctorate degree in edu- cation (Ed.D.). Research - WSU Vancouver is a premier research uni- versity. More than 130 doctoral teaching scholars work side-by-side with graduate and undergraduate students in One of the nine programs on Seattle Central’s list of proposed cutbacks is its 65- year-old apparel-design pro- gram, which trains students in the design and manufacture of clothing. Graduates go on to design for Nordstrom, Cutter & Buck and REI, among others, said Camila Sigelmann, coordinator of the program. “It’s the greatest program nobody knows about,” stu- dent Cielle Miller said. She started her training at a pri- vate fashion academy in Italy, “and it was nowhere near as good as this.” If programs are eliminated, students already enrolled will be able to finish, said Wakefield. Not every pro- gram on the list will be elimi- nated, and the school is look- ing for alternative ways to fund them. A final decision will be made by mid-June. The proposed tuition increases also are a concern. Hanson, of Renton Technical College, said some students will have to take out larger student loans, leaving them in debt after they graduate. Others may not be able to attend anymore. Under the proposed increase, tuition for full-time students would jump from about $3,100 a year now to $3,800 by 2013. Earl and Hanson both advise students planning to attend a community college this fall to register as early as possible to avoid getting closed out of a class they need. “For anybody who’s inter- ested: Go early,” Earl said. “You don’t want to wait until the first week of school.” HUMAN RESOURCES ASSISTANT View all open positions at LifeWorks NW or apply online: http://www.lifeworksnw.org Be a vital part of a leading non-profit organization that values a diverse workforce and provides quality cultural- ly-responsive mental health & addiction treatment, pre- vention & related service to children, adults & families in the Portland Metro area.
