The information in these pages pertains to students from one of Central Washington University’s bilateral exchange partners:

Students from other institutions wishing to study at CWU for a short period of time should consult one of our international student recruiters to inquire about eligibility and procedures. Students sponsored by such organizations as IREX, World Learning and others, please contact Rachel Gordon or Stacy Soderstrom.
