Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies is the interdisciplinary, liberal arts college of Western Washington University. We are a small learning community where students take an uncommon degree of responsibility for the direction of their own education.
If you're a student who shows initiative, intellectual curiosity that crosses traditional academic boundaries, and tends to take a different path than others, then Fairhaven College—one of the seven colleges at Western Washington University—may be a place for you!
