What is WICHE?
Five decades ago, the governors and legislators of the 15 western states created
WICHE, the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, to help them
provide high-quality, cost-effective education in their states. Toward this end,
WICHE enables states to share cooperatively their higher education programs and
facilities for training new professionals, conducting research, and sponsoring
continuing education to sharpen the skills of current professionals.
WICHE's goals are to increase the availability of higher education in the West,
to assist states to have the professionally and technically trained persons they
require, and to help states increase the effectiveness and efficiency of their
higher education programs. Member states include Alaska, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon,
South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The governors of the 15 states each
appoint three Commissioners to direct this nonprofit public organization.
