Highlights

  • EWU has the ability to redefine what polytechnic education means in the 21st century: applied, hands-on learning that leads to in-demand careers, firmly rooted in the liberal arts. Our polytechnic approach integrates critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills across all fields of study. And because that’s always been our focus, “the region’s polytechnic” is about boldly stating who we are, not changing what we do.
  • What is a polytechnic?
  • While there is no single definition of a polytechnic university, they are known for emphasizing hands-on learning and combining comprehensive academic education with practical experience.
