A Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting is available to students who would like to prepare for careers in public accounting (as Certified Public Accountants), industrial accounting, and nonprofit accounting. The major imparts to students the "common body of knowledge" required of practicing accountants by maintaining a flexible program to meet the needs of a changing society. The student-centered faculty achieve these objectives by developing individual programs, advising students how to meet personal goals and helping the students to secure employment upon graduation.
Central Washington University Accounting students, within 120 days of obtaining a degree and 225 total credits, or completing the MPA at Central Washington University, are qualified to sit for the Certified Public Accountant examination. State law requires individuals wishing to sit for the CPA examination to have completed (1) a minimum of 36 quarter credits of study in accounting, and (2) a minimum of 36 quarter credits in related business courses. Registration for the examination is made through the State Board of Accountancy, Olympia, Washington. After July 1, 2000, 225 quarter credits will also be required to sit for the CPA exam. Students are also prepared to sit for the Certified Management Accounting examination and the Certified Internal Auditor examination. Students should consult with their major advisor for details.
Equivalent lower division (100-200 level) courses may be transferred toward meeting the pre-admission requirements for any B.S. degree in the College of Business. Upper division (300-400 level) courses may be transferred toward meeting the major requirements only with the approval of the Department Chair and the School Dean or designee. Transfer students must earn at least 45 credits at CWU.
Students majoring outside the College of Business who are required to take courses in this School for either their major or minor will be eligible to enroll on a space-available basis. These students will be given priority over other non-school majors wishing to enroll in courses.

The United States Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC), represented at Central by Detachment 895 and the 895th Cadet Wing, prepares students to be commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Air Force. Although the academic courses are open to all CWU students, the following information is provided primarily for students considering a potential officer commissioning program. Students from any academic major degree program are eligible. Upon award of the baccalaureate degree, graduates are commissioned and enter active duty in one of the dozens of exciting career fields. The Air Force is actively seeking qualified officer candidates in under-represented groups such as African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and women.
AFROTC courses are accredited, and may be taken as an academic minor or as free electives. The AFROTC curriculum offers both four-year and two-year programs. The freshman and sophomore courses comprise the General Military Course (GMC) portion of the curriculum. The GMC is introductory and developmental in nature, and is designed to motivate and prepare cadets for entry into the advanced portion of the curriculum. GMC classes meet once a week for an hour, and an accompanying weekly two-hour leadership laboratory is mandatory.
The junior and senior courses comprise the Professional Officer Course (POC), which is designed to prepare cadets to assume responsibilities as commissioned officers in the U.S. Air Force. POC classes meet three times a week, and again there is an accompanying weekly two-hour leadership laboratory. It is mandatory that the full two-year POC be completed even though degree requirements may be met earlier. Graduate studies or a second Bachelor's degree may be accommodated in the AFROTC commissioning program.
Another program requirement is participation in a summer field training period at an Air Force base before entering the POC. Students who have completed the first two years (GMC) of the four-year program, and those with the required amount of prior enlisted service, attend a four-week training period. Students who did not complete the GMC and desire to directly enter the POC (two-year program) attend a six-week summer training period.
Enrollment. Enrollment in the freshman and sophomore classes (AFRO 100 and 200 series) creates no obligation to the Air Force. Although enrollment in the Fall quarter of the freshman year is necessary in order to complete the full GMC sequence, enrollment during any of the freshman or sophomore quarters is accepted and will provide an introduction to the program and to the opportunities afforded an Air Force officer, allowing an informed decision about continuing into the POC to pursue a commission. Students are eligible to enroll in the POC beginning the junior year only after successfully completing the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT), a medical examination, the physical fitness test and 1.5-mile run, and the summer training period.
Scholarship and Financial Assistance. Air Force ROTC competitive merit scholarships are available, normally in technical majors such as Math, Physics, and Computer Science. However, scholarships are awarded each year in the social sciences. An AFROTC scholarship will normally cover tuition, fees, and books. High school seniors up through November may apply for 4-year AFROTC scholarships.
College freshmen and sophomores in their Fall term may apply for a 3-year and 2-year scholarships, respectively. All junior and senior cadets in good standing receive a monthly stipend, separate from any scholarships. Additionally, junior and senior cadets in good standing currently receive a yearly $3,450 non-competitive incentive. Stop by Peterson Hall, Room 203, or call 963-2314 for the latest scholarship information.

Anthropology presents an integrated perspective on the cultural and biological nature of humans. Anthropologists study present and past human diversity through classroom, laboratory, and field studies in cultural and biological anthropology, including archaeology, linguistics, enthnology, and applied anthropology.
Classes at the introductory (100) level include a general survey of the field and major sub-fields. Intermediate (300) level classes focus on selected sub-fields; upper-division standing or relevant lower division anthropology courses are desirable. Advanced (400) level classes generally assume completion of at least three of the core requirement classes, plus 15 credits in Anthropology. However, prerequisite requirements may be waived with permission of the instructor, or for variable credit classes (490, 491, 496, 498).
Students interested in major and minor programs should contact the department office as soon as possible for further information, application forms, and assignment of an advisor. Anthropology majors are expected to meet with their advisors at least once a quarter.
Reflecting the broad nature of anthropological study, the Department directly sponsors or is affiliated with a wide range of on- and off-campus options to broaden classroom experiences. Further information about the following programs is available through the Anthropology Department office:

The Department of Art is the primary agent for the study and practice of visual culture at Central Washington University. Through our programs and affiliated course offerings we transmit knowledge which enables our students to assume their respective roles as practitioners, educators, and informed patrons of the visual arts. We strive to enhance our students' understanding of the diversity and unity, the traditions and innovations, the freedom and restraint of both visual and physical imagery. It is additionally the department's goal to facilitate liberal learning and academic excellence through instruction which is sensitive to the needs of a diverse student body, and is attentive to the technological and economic realities of an increasingly visual culture.
Our undergraduate curricula provides opportunities for study in studio art, graphic design, and art education with allied course offerings in art history and criticism. In addition, we offer minors in art studio, art history and art education for students in other disciplines who wish to supplement their majors.
Students can complete any of our degree programs in four years provided they work closely with an advisor beginning their freshman year and take courses in the recommended sequence.
A comprehensive studio art degree for students desiring to pursue careers in the field of graphic design and visual communication. The program emphasizes critical thinking through the exploration of digital and print media. After completion of the Art core and pre-graphic Design prerequisites students are required to complete the Graphic Design Specialization requirements, including a contracted field experience. Transfer students are encouraged to complete a contracted field experience. Transfer students are encouraged to complete as many of the transferable Art requirements as possible prior to enrolling at CWU.
