Our Mission

We Make It Possible

Heritage University is an accredited, private institution offering a wide variety of academic programs and degrees. At Heritage, we believe that a college education should be accessible to anyone with the talent and drive to pursue a degree — regardless of economics, culture or geographic locations.

We make it possible for you to earn a college degree, even with a busy work and home life. Many of our undergraduate courses are offered during the evenings, and graduate courses are offered on the weekends. In addition to the main campus located in Toppenish, Washington, we maintain regional sites in Tri-Cities in Kennewick as well as the Columbia Basin College campus.

With Heritage, you’ll enjoy a world-class, multi-cultural education and personalized attention. Classes are small, averaging only 11 students in each class. Professors are skilled practitioners with ties deep in their respective fields. Learn more by visiting our Admissions section!


Our Mission

Heritage University empowers a multi-cultural and inclusive student body to overcome the social, cultural, economic and geographic barriers that limit access to higher education. Rooted in the homeland of the Yakama Nation, we embrace transformational student-centered education that cultivates leadership and a commitment to the promotion of a more just society.
