Find Yourself Here
In the College of Arts & Sciences, learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. It also happens in Seattle’s great outdoors, in labs where groundbreaking research takes place, in performances on campus, and during exclusive externships with Amazon and Microsoft. While engaging courses are at the core of your Arts & Sciences experience, you can find community and discover more ways to explore when you step outside the classroom.
