Washington State University:
Founded in 1890, WSU is Washington state’s land-grant institution and is ranked as having “very high research activity” (R1) by the Carnegie Foundation. WSU has an enrollment of over 31,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students and approximately 6,500 faculty and staff at its five physical campuses (Pullman, Spokane, Tri-Cities, Vancouver, and Everett) and online (Global Campus).

The business curricula at all campuses are accredited as one curriculum by the AACSB.
WSU is committed to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion among faculty, staff, and students. A few examples of these efforts include ADVANCE at WSU, the LGBTQ+ student center(which also supports faculty and staff), and anti-bias training for faculty and staff members.
As a land-grant institution, WSU is dedicated to providing a high-quality, accessible, and affordable education for the betterment of society and, in particular, the residents and economy of Washington state. Information about the core values and strategic plan of WSU can be found on the WSU System Strategic Plan website.

Pullman, Washington: Pullman (population 32,508) is a friendly, welcoming, and safe town located in southeastern Washington state within the Palouse region of the Pacific Northwest. Located about 75 miles south of Spokane and 285 miles east of Seattle, Pullman is a vastly fertile agricultural area known for its many miles of scenic rolling hills and the production of wheat and legumes. Pullman evenings boast unrivaled sunsets of pink and blue, which inspired WSU’s original school colors before they changed to today’s crimson and gray. A Wall Street Journal article referred to the Palouse region as “The Tuscany of America”. The newly renovated Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport is located next to campus and provides multiple flights to Seattle each day.
Pullman and the broader region provide limitless opportunities for year-round outdoor activities, including biking, hiking, camping, tennis and pickleball, skiing/snowboarding at Schweitzer Mountain, and water activities at the Snake River or Lake Coeur D’Alene. Pullman residents enjoy a reasonable cost of living, quick commute times, and excellent public schools. The region also holds opportunities for dual-earner professional couples. Pullman is home to the international headquarters of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, and just eight miles east of Pullman is Moscow, Idaho (population ~26,000) and the University of Idaho.
