Explore Your Options Like Never Before with CWI’s New Program Search

Published: January 17, 2025

College of Western Idaho (CWI) is revolutionizing the way students explore educational opportunities with the launch of a new program search tool on cwi.edu. Designed to empower students and simplify their journey, enhanced search features will be a game-changer in connecting students with their future. 

Developed in collaboration with a leading higher education search platform vendor and shaped by valuable input from stakeholders, program search brings innovation and precision to the digital experience to ensure students have access to a streamlined, personalized, and efficient way to find programs that align with their goals. 

An Intuitive, Student-Centered Experience 

Program search’s intuitive, student-focused design makes finding the perfect program effortless. 

  • Students can explore by program, interest, or pathway and refine their search using filters tailored to their individual preferences, including degree or certificate type, program length, transferability, and course delivery style. Whether students know exactly what they want to study or are exploring their options, the tool adapts to meet their needs. 

  • Dynamic search capabilities continuously improve and personalize results, ensuring every user finds information relevant to their unique journey. This is more than a search tool — it’s a personalized guide to educational discovery. 

Guided Pathways for Success 

As an upgrade to the previous Programs & Degrees page, program search introduces expanded features, including academic and career pathways.  

  • These pathways group related programs together, helping students uncover connections between their interests and future careers.

  • Each pathway is complemented by dedicated landing pages that showcase similar programs, offering deeper insights and a clearer roadmap for students to follow. 

Experience the future of academic exploration with CWI’s new program search. Try it today to see how it can elevate your journey! For questions or feedback, please email communications@cwi.edu.
