Campuses
The Spokane region and the University District (UD) in particular are where education and business grow together. The UD is home to six outstanding higher education institutions that together enroll over 20,000 undergraduate and grad students. Proximity to these urban Spokane campuses, and to the best and brightest graduating from them, presents tremendous talent opportunities for our region and beyond. These institutions are impacting and driving the knowledge economy, medical research, smart urban design, business innovations, and scientific breakthroughs. Resources for businesses abound on each campus. See the links below for more information on these institutions and their students in the University District.
