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.”
