The College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences
Washington State’s College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS) is one of
the nation’s premier agricultural programs and is consistently ranked within the top 40 such programs by
U.S. News and World Report. The program is made up of 16 academic units, four research and extension
centers, and 40 county and tribal Extension offices across the state, giving it the largest regional presence
of any college at WSU and allowing it to take full advantage of Washington’s rich agricultural industry and
resources.
CAHNRS is home to nearly 3,000 graduate and undergraduate
students and 550 faculty members who oversee rigorous, hands-
on, and interdisciplinary academic programs at WSU’s Pullman,
Tri-Cities, Everett, and Vancouver campuses. Students at WSU
Tri-Cities enjoy a close partnership with the Department of
Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratories and an
acclaimed Viticulture and Enology program that includes one of
the most technologically advanced wine research and education
facilities of its kind in the world.
The College offers degrees and certificates in a wide range of disciplines, including agricultural education
and biotechnology, animal science, agriculture and food security, viticulture, human development, earth
sciences, and various agricultural management degrees; it was the first in the nation to create an academic

WSU Overview
Founded in 1890 in Pullman, WA, Washington State University is Washington’s land-grant university and
one of two public research universities in the state. With the goal of improving the quality of life for people
within the state and around the world, WSU is committed to innovation and excellence in research and
scholarship.
WSU offers 98 academic majors for undergraduates and nearly 150 graduate and professional degree
programs, as well as professional degree programs in medicine, nursing, veterinary medicine, and
pharmacy. Twenty undergraduate degree programs and 12 graduate degree programs are also available
online through WSU’s Global Campus. U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 “America’s Best Colleges”
rankings place WSU at number 79 in public national universities.
WSU is committed to ensuring that higher education is
accessible and affordable for Washington’s residents. WSU
annually awards about $380 million in scholarships and financial
aid to approximately 24,000 undergraduate students, about 80%
of whom are from the state of Washington. More than 34% of
students are first-generation, and more than 30% are ethnically
diverse. Nearly two-thirds of WSU’s more than 215,000 living
alumni live and work in Washington.
WSU research expenditures totaled a record $360.5 million in fiscal year
2018, placing it among the top public universities nationally for research
funding. Capitalizing on WSU’s fundamental and applied research strengths,
the University’s research agenda is sharply focused on addressing Grand
Challenges in health, sustainability, smart systems, national security, and
opportunity and equity. Its researchers team with global scholars, federal and
state agencies, national laboratories, business and civic leaders, and
philanthropists to target critical national and global problems, upholding the
University’s priority of serving society
.
A record enrollment of nearly 31,500 undergraduate, graduate, and
professional students and approximately 6,500 faculty and staff make up the
University’s 11 colleges, and courses can be taken on WSU’s five campuses
(Pullman, Spokane, Tri-Cities, Vancouver, and Everett); online through its
WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY PROSPECTUS | 7
Global Campus, which was founded in 2012 to offer degrees worldwide; in Extension offices in each of the
state’s 39 counties; at more than 31 Small Business Development Centers; and at regionally based
Research and Extension Centers in the state’s key agricultural areas.
The University has successfully recruited an increasingly diverse and accomplished faculty in recent years,
including members of National Academies, Fulbright fellows, recipients of national and international honors
in their field, and heavily cited researchers. The University prides itself on faculty who are highly accessible
to students — evidenced by a student-to- faculty ratio of about 15 to 1.
Recognizing that WSU must continue to grow its reputation in step with its accomplishments in academics
and research if it is to continue to attract the best students, garner external research funding, and establish
new partnerships, University President Kirk Shulz initiated the Drive to 25 in the fall of 2016. Through the
Drive to 25, Washington State University will be recognized as one of the nation’s Top 25 public research
universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement by 2030. The campaign
builds on the cornerstones of WSU’s Institutional Strategic Plan and its two pivotal goals of offering a
transformative educational experience and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.
Development/Advancement Overview
The WSU system is supported in part by the WSU Foundation, which promotes, accepts, and maximizes
private support for programs, initiatives, and properties of the University and its campuses. The WSU
Foundation also prudently manages, invests, and stewards the assets entrusted to it by the University and
its alumni, friends, and donors.
Established in 1979, the WSU Foundation was created not as an object of philanthropy itself but, rather, as
the preferred mechanism through which private support is raised and managed for the sole benefit of the
University. Since its inception, the WSU Foundation has raised more than $1.7 billion in private
commitments in support of WSU programs and initiatives. The WSU Foundation total fundraising activity
during FY2019 was $145.8 million — the third-highest fundraising total within the university and the highest
total raised outside a campaign.
Volunteers, namely, 133 Trustees, serve a critical fundraising role in support of the WSU Foundation and
the University. In addition to their generous financial support, Trustees volunteer their time to serve on
Foundation committees and to build relationships with prospective WSU supporters. Up to 25 Trustees
serve on the Board of Directors, which has fiduciary responsibility for the general business and affairs of the
WSU Foundation, including oversight of its property, assets, and policies.
The WSU Foundation consolidates all funds available for long-term investment in its Endowment Fund, with
the exception of funds restricted by law or by special donor limitations. This fund is the investment pool for
more than 2,397 privately endowed funds supporting a wide variety of education, research, and service
programs at the University. The investment objectives of the WSU Foundation’s Endowment Fund reflect its
long-term nature, and WSU seeks to achieve these investment objectives by diversifying across major asset
WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY PROSPECTUS | 8
classes (e.g., marketable equities, non-marketable investments, absolute return, fixed income), as well as
within each asset class (e.g., investment style, capitalization, industry).
As of Fiscal Year 2019 (ended June 30, 2019), the WSU Foundation Endowment’s total asset value was
$515 million. Total return-to-date during Fiscal Year 2018 was 8%, with three-year returns at 6.3% and five-
year returns at 7.3%.
In addition to donations made to the foundation each
year, the University has undertaken two major fundraising
campaigns. In 2015, the University celebrated the
successful conclusion to its second and most ambitious
fundraising effort to date — the $1 billion Campaign for
Washington State University: Because the World Needs
Big Ideas. The campaign successfully raised nearly $1.1
billion in private support commitments from more than
206,000 generous donors, including the five largest
commitments in WSU history. Most notably, the University
received $26 million and $25 million from Paul G. Allen
and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, respectively, to
support international research, teaching, and outreach
and to fund construction of WSU’s Center for Global Animal Health. Washington’s tree fruit industry made
commitments totaling more than $32 million to endow several new faculty positions and create endowments
to accelerate tree fruit research activities and industry outreach at WSU. Support for students and access to
higher education was a top campaign priority, with more than $154 million raised for endowed and current-
use scholarships and graduate fellowships. Nearly $171 million was designated to create 645 new
endowments, including 444 new endowed scholarships and graduate fellowships. The WSU Foundation
has begun planning for the University’s third comprehensive fundraising campaign, which will be WSU’s
largest — and one of the nation’s larger — campaign efforts.
WSU development operations have a robust budget of $20 million funded through a combination of revenue
sources, including endowment management fees, planned giving assessments, and direct support from the
University and its campuses, colleges, and unit areas. This helps to ensure a diversified source of funding
and leverages the momentum of current donors to attract and retain new donors to benefit even more WSU
students, faculty, research, and services. Information about the Foundation’s fee structure can be found at
