Independent Colleges of Washington member campuses offer good jobs and educate more than 30,000 students, helping these individuals develop the skills and build the knowledge they need to bring their purpose and passion to jobs with our state’s employers.
When students earn a degree from one of our member campuses, they're learning much more than the knowledge that they will need for their future careers. Companies look for the skills that a liberal arts education delivers: teamwork, problem solving, communication, and work ethic.
Independent Colleges of Washington (ICW) member campuses help students flourish after graduation because their education is grounded in what lasts, ensuring they are ready for whatever comes next. Just one of the ways that our schools are #DeliveringValue and #PoweringEconomies.
Washington's independent colleges and universities provide students with a place where they can grow and build confidence. Smaller class sizes mean that ICW campuses are a place to take chances, try new things, and learn new skills - while also receiving a well-rounded education.
Campus faculty & staff focus on individual students and their unique needs, and are invested in their development and success. ICW member campuses play an important role in how the state of Washington is #CultivatingTalent and #DeliveringValue to thousands of students.

I just announced my next legislative proposal: Requiring all high school seniors complete the FAFSA or WASFA, or opt out, to graduate.
Washington is among the most generous states for providing free money to attend college or job training. Let's help students access that money.
