About the University Center
The Lower Columbia Regional University Center provides options for residents of Cowlitz
and surrounding counties to earn bachelor's degrees without relocating or a lengthy
commute. The goal of the center is to increase the number of adults with bachelor's
degrees in Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties, and to increase the local workforce to
fill the need for qualified professionals. The center is conveniently located in the
Alan Thompson Library in the center of the 天美传媒 campus.
The Lower Columbia region has one of the higher ratios of residents earning an associate
degree in our state, but one of the lowest percentages of residents completing a bachelor's
degree. Only 16% of Cowlitz and Wahkiakum County adults over age 25 have completed
four or more years of college compared to a state average of 37%.
An on-campus University Center removes psychological, social, financial, and physical
barriers and adds stepping stones to increasing academic and career options for students.
Our University Center staff is here to answer questions and to help you take the next
step on your educational journey.
