Academics
RegistrationClosed ProgramsNursing, Education, Elementary Education
LimitationsEnrollment in Business, Computer Science, health sciences, animal sciences, communications, and marketing courses is VERY limited. Incoming NSE students MUST have flexibility in course selection. Equivalent prerequisites and math-level requirements are strictly enforced for all courses that require them.
Students may only register in WSU Pullman courses, which are almost exclusively in-person, on the WSU Pullman campus.
NSE students register later than most undergraduate students. Registration in many communication, science, and business courses is very limited and restricted to those admitted to majors from institutions whose accreditation aligns with WSU's. (e.g. Must be certified Business major from AACSB accredited business school to take upper division business classes.)
Notable Academic Programs- Communications - Named for its most illustrious alumnus, The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication is highly regarded nationwide by educators and professionals. It has won national and regional Emmys for student television productions, is nationally ranked fourth in television news and first in the Northwest for its public relations sequence.
- Agricultural Sciences - Recognizing its unique land-grant research and education mission to the people of Washington and the state’s increasing global involvement, CAHNRS provides leadership in discovering, accessing, and disseminating knowledge through high quality research, instruction and extension programs that contribute to a safe, abundant food and fiber supply, promote the well-being of individuals, families, and communities, enhance sustainability of agricultural and economic systems, and promote stewardship of natural resources and ecological systems.
- Veterinary Medicine - Established in 1899, the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine is proud of its distinguished past as one of the oldest veterinary colleges in the United States. The college is fully accredited by four key national accrediting agencies: the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education, the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, and the American Animal Hospital Association. The college is also ranked among the top U.S. veterinary colleges in extramural research support.
