The City University of Seattle is a private, nonprofit institution. Its online programs are part of this private university structure, not a public university system. The university is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), ensuring its programs meet rigorous academic standards.
As a private institution, it operates independently of state funding, which may influence tuition costs and program offerings compared to public universities. However, its online programs provide flexibility for students globally, maintaining the same accreditation and academic quality as its on-campus counterparts.
