What is Web Camp?
WSU’s Web Camp has received the “Program of Distinction Award” from the Board of Education. WSU’s online Bachelor’s completion program ranked #1 nationwide for faculty credentials and training in U.S. News & World Report’s first-ever edition (2012) of Top Online Education Program rankings.
