Online Learning

The Office of Multimodal Learning seeks to assure that Central Washington University maintains the highest standards of excellence in online learning and is recognized regionally and nationally for offering outstanding online programs that provide increased access of educational opportunities to diverse, place-bound, traditional, and non-traditional students.

Online offerings at CWU are meant to:

provide more flexible access to content and instruction for learners who are unable to attend traditional face-to-face offerings
provide greater educational course and program selection for students
improve time-to-degree completion by offering students greater course scheduling flexibility
