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.
