WSU Tri Cities’ outlook for next year is looking great with admissions up across the board. There is the potential of 134 incoming freshman this fall, a 54% increase from last fall. Transfer admissions are also up this year from 157 students last year to 194 students, a 24% increase. Minority student admissions have doubled since last year with 152 applications for this fall up from 73 last fall.
Students traditionally flock to colleges during tough economic cycles – either for retraining after being laid off from a job or because they need education to get jobs in an increasingly competitive market. Jaime Contreras the director of student affairs at WSU Tri Cities has noticed that students are tending to go to state subsidized schools over private universities.
