Application forms are mailed from the Graduate School. Specific positions and responsibilities vary broadly, as does geographic placement. Many program alumni have risen to top administrative positions and regularly refer to our program when searching for talented new employees. Although the program is specific to higher education, graduates have found their skills to be transferable to community development, crisis clinics, social work, entrepreneurship, and personnel management in the private sector. Rooms and apartments for single or married students are available on campus.
Space is limited and studentsare encouraged to apply at the earliest possible opportunity.
A variety of dining options are available. Western maintains an Off-Campus Housing Listing Service to assist students in finding local housing. Our proximity to Puget Sound and the Cascade and Olympic Mountain Ranges provide for ample recreation and personal renewal. The cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is within easy access as well as the vibrant city of Seattle. An emphasis on diversity for the past twenty years is now evident in the students, faculty, and staff.
