The university offers more than 400 courses across two metropolitan campuses, in Mount Lawley and Joondalup, and a regional campus in the South West, Bunbury, 200km south of Perth [5]; with some courses also offered for study off-campus (Distance Education) [6].

World University Rankings published in January 2009 ranked its Faculty of Business and Law the tenth best business school in Australia[12], and four star rating by Graduate Management Association of Australia in 2008.
History
The origins of Edith Cowan University date back to 1902 with the establishment of Claremont Teachers College, the first tertiary education institution in Western Australia[13].
Other teacher training colleges were formed over the years, including Graylands Teachers College (GTC), the Western Australian Secondary Teachers College (WASTC), Nedlands College of Advanced Education (NCAE), Mount Lawley Teachers College (MLTC) and Churchlands Teachers College [14].
In 1982 these colleges were all merged to form the Western Australian College of Advanced Education (WACAE) - with campuses in Churchlands, Nedlands, Claremont, Bunbury and Joondalup[15].
Western Australian College of Advanced Education (WACAE) was granted university status on 1 January 1991[16] and changed its name to Edith Cowan University [17].
Edith Cowan University was named after the first woman to be elected to an Australian Parliament, Edith Dircksey Cowan, and is the only Australian university named after a woman. Edith Dircksey Cowan worked tirelessly to raise funds for students to attend universities in other states, prior to a university being built in Western Australia, obtaining government support for her scheme[18]. Her work in this area was acknowledged by naming Western Australia's oldest education institution and newest university after her, as well as her image being added to the Australian $50 note[19].
Edith Dircksey Cowan believed education was the key to growth, change and improvement and her contribution to the development of Western Australian education was significant. She strove to achieve social justice and campaigned for the rights of women, children and families, for the poor, the poorly educated and the elderly[20]. She promoted sex education in schools, migrant welfare and the formation of infant health centres as well as being instrumental in obtaining votes for women in Western Australia[21].
In 1991, the university purchased the house that Edith Cowan, her husband and family resided in for approximately 20 years[22]. The house was reconstructed on the university's Joondalup Campus with the assistance of the West Coast College of TAFE, with the reconstructed house was opened in 1997[23]. Edith Cowan House, Building 20 on the university's Joondalup Campus, currently plays host to the Peter Cowan Writer's Centre[24].
