General Information:
Founded in 1890 in Pullman, WSU is the state of Washington's land-grant institution and one of the country's top public research universities. WSU has an enrollment of over 29,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students and approximately 6,500 faculty and staff at its five campuses (Pullman, Spokane, Tri-Cities, Vancouver, and Everett), and online through its Global Campus. Unlike most multi-campus systems, WSU operates as an integrated university. Thus, all FMS faculty regardless of campus location are full members of the FMS department.

WSU is a premier research institution with ambitions to grow. WSU is ranked as a "very high research activity" (R1) institution by the Carnegie Foundation. The university is now engaged in developing a strategic plan for the next five years as it works toward its vision, "Drive to 25," with the goal of becoming one of the top 25 public research universities in the country by 2030.
