City University of Seattle offers access to a high quality, relevant education to students in the U.S., Canada, and across the globe through international university partnerships.
In the early 1980s, CityU expanded its academic offerings to an underserved adult learner population in Vancouver, British Columbia. Since then, CityU responded to several other regions seeking U.S.-accredited programs and expanded its global presence. Today, CityU offers programs in Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Slovakia, the United States, and Vietnam.
Integral to CityU’s vision is an expanding network of international university partners who share CityU’s mission and core values and whose own capabilities to serve students are enhanced because of the partnership. With local advocates and champions of the mission and values, CityU uses its partners’ knowledge and capacity to help create access for students and fill such unmet needs.
CityU’s international programs are continuous reminders of the importance of strengthening global connections — one of CityU’s core themes.
