VISITORS | CURRENT STUDENTS | PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

What is Burke 101?
"Burke 101" is a program that enables UW students to share what they are learning in school with Burke Museum visitors.

Each quarter students enrolled in a particular subject course have the opportunity to co-enroll in a teaching course at the Burke Museum. As part of their coursework, students interact with museum visitors in the galleries on selected weekends and weekdays. The teaching course is usually 3 credits, and is graded as credit/no credit.
