History
Washington State University created its Global Campus on July 2, 2012. It combines the university's online-based instructional programs and offerings, and adds programs designed to bring online education to a wider audience.

Five pillars
WSU's Global Campus consists of five pillars:

WSU Online. WSU Online began in 1992 as one of the nation's first university distance degree programs. WSU’s online degree program works with faculty from WSU colleges to offer eight undergraduate degrees, several master’s degrees, and graduate and undergraduate certificates. WSU Online offers registration, student support, tech support, academic advising, eTutoring, and career counseling. It has about 3,100 students, and was named one of the nation’s top five online degree programs.

Digital Academy. The Digital Academy offers non-credit online learning opportunities, such as certificate courses for working professionals and free interactive seminars for students.

Global Connections. Global Connections includes online career fairs, a digital pavilion, and a common reading program.

eLearning Services. eLearning Services provides best practices for technology mediated instruction, services that improve the educational experience for students and faculty, and a site where faculty can explore new tools and methodologies. Conference Management. WSU's Conference Management unit organizes 40-50 educational conferences a year, bringing experts together both virtually and face-to-face.
