The most taken courses at the school are: Business, Management, Marketing, and related support service. Those are only a few of the most popular majors at WSU, but also everyone has their own plan for what they want to be when they grow up. Professors will work their hardest to support their students so they graduate giving key details about what they are learning. You are also able to take online courses if you are not able to go during a certain circumstance. You can go both online and in person on the campus, on campus full time, or online full time.

Conclusion: 

All in all, both of the schools are really good universities. Both offer a great education for whoever wants to go to WSU and UW. It really just depends on if you want to be a cougar or a husky, or as others say it depends on which offers the best for yourself personally. Personally for me, I would go to UW, just because it is closer and offers a good program for future courses and sports. Obviously you can’t guarantee your acceptance to either school,, so ultimately, applying to both schools wouldn’t be a bad idea. Going into the schools with your own strengths and weaknesses, of what you are really good at and what you are not good at so well. You have enough time to decide which school you really want to go to, it just always depends on what school you are really interested in going to.
