Land Grant Universities – Connecting You to Reliable, Practical Knowledge
The two land-grant universities in Washington include: Washington State University (WSU) and the Northwest Indian College in Bellingham.
Established by Congress in the 1800s, the land-grant system, through Extension Services, provides better access to the knowledge base of WSU and other land-grant universities nation-wide. The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 established the nationwide Cooperative Extension Service as part of the land-grant system. WSU Extension is a three-way partnership between USDA, Washington State University, and local county governments. Extension started in Clark county on November 1, 1917.
