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
More information about online learning at CWU is available on the web at: www.cwu.edu/online-learning.
