HERITAGE UNIVERSITY

Located in Toppenish, Washington on the Yakama Indian Reservation, Heritage University strives to provide its students with a multicultural educational experience. An intimate rural university with a small student body, the school boasts individualized attention with exceptionally small class sizes of about 10. Heritage University seeks to provide educational opportunities to minorities and the underprivileged. To support this mission, the university aims to provide financial aid to as many eli... gible students as possible. The Heritage Pledge program tells you before enrolling exactly how much aid you’ll receive from the university. The school offers over 50 undergraduate majors and nearly 10 graduate programs through its two colleges: the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Education & Philosophy. Most of Heritage’s programs of study are in professionally oriented subjects like health care and education. In addition to its main campus in Toppenish, Heritage also maintains regional campuses at Highline Community College (Seattle), Columbia Basin College (Tri-Cities), and Big Bend Community College (Moses Lake). All of these satellite campuses have convenient credit transfer programs with their partner institutions. For example, you can earn your associate’s degree at Big Bend Community College, then go on to earn a bachelor’s degree at Heritage Moses Lake.More
