Eastern is a driving force for the culture, economy and vitality of the Inland Northwest region. The University?s beautiful campus, NCAA Division I athletics and opportunities for hands-on, real-world learning provide a classic, yet unique college experience. A focus on personal attention, faculty excellence and community collaboration allow Eastern to accomplish its mission for preparing well-rounded students ready to hit the ground running in their chosen career fields.
Eastern Momentum
Eastern?s current momentum, best symbolized by the University?s recent appearance in the 2004 NCAA men?s basketball tournament, is unprecedented. Sparked by the hiring of president Stephen M. Jordan in 1998, Eastern is now the state?s fastest growing public institution, yet maintains a 24:1 student-faculty ratio. This momentum can also be seen through structural changes around campus, including Woodward Stadium renovation, State Digital Archives building, Washington State Patrol crime lab and School of Computing and Engineering Sciences.
Best of Both Worlds Location
Eastern?s campus is just 17 miles from Washington?s second largest city, Spokane. However, it is a matter of minutes from more than 20 lakes, beautiful mountains and the Turnbull National Wildlife refuge offering fishing, hiking, biking, boating, wildlife watching and more. This unique geographic positioning allows students the serenity to focus on their studies, the spirit of a small college town, the recreational opportunities of the Northwest and the invaluable internship opportunities and civic involvement offered by a major metropolitan area. It?s no wonder 9,500 students (and counting) now make Eastern their home away from home.
Opportunity Unlimited
Eastern is proud to offer the state?s best economic value in public education. This has made Eastern an institution of opportunity for many college students seeking an education that will provide them the skills and practical training critical to succeed in today's changing work environment. Eastern also provides another kind of opportunity ? to study one-of-a-kind, in-demand curriculum such as biotechnology, cyber security, forensic science, entrepreneurship, children?s studies, dental hygiene and urban planning. In addition, Eastern is the only regional university in the state to offer a doctorate in physical therapy.
A Grad for the Real-World
As a result of Eastern's comprehensive liberal arts curriculum and emphasis on real-world experiences, Eastern graduates are uniquely prepared to succeed in a competitive job market and immediately contribute to their career fields. In addition, close faculty relationships and collaborative community projects make our graduates strong and active stewards of the communities in which they ultimately reside.
