Academics
At the UW, we see things differently. That goes for majors, too. What ignites your love for learning?
Costs
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to attend the UW. Finances should not be a barrier to getting a world-class education.

Your Husky Experience doesn’t end when you leave the classroom. The time you spend outside of class can be just as transformative.
