Degrees and Certificates
Distance Degree Programs
The following online degrees are available through Distance Degree Programs (DDP), a unit of Washington State University Center for Distance and Professional Education (CDPE). Students in these online programs receive their academic advising and support services directly from the DDP staff. Degrees earned online through WSU DDP are the same as degrees earned on a WSU campus, from the quality of instruction to the diploma you will receive upon graduation. The only difference is that you never have to come to campus to complete your degree (but you are always welcome to attend DDP functions on the Pullman campus and around the state of Washington and your commencement ceremony)!
