PULLMAN, Wash. — More than 4,400 Washington State University students are set to graduate this spring.
Bachelor’s degree recipients are leading the way, with 3,447 applying to graduate this spring across WSU’s six campuses. At the graduate level, 306 students are earning master’s degrees this spring while another 170 will receive their doctoral degrees.
This spring’s graduating class also includes 140 masters of business administration degrees earned online, 133 veterinarians, and 67 medical doctors.
Some 6,200 WSU students are eligible to participate in commencement events happening across the WSU system this spring, as graduates from the fall semester can participate in spring commencement activities. Because students must fulfill academic requirements prior to earning their degrees, final spring graduation figures may vary slightly from applications to graduate as of mid-April.
Each campus will have its own Spring 2024 Commencement events May 3–11, with more information available on each campus’ website.
