Welcome

This is the University of Washington: a stunning campus in the heart of an energetic, forward-thinking city. Our students are dreamers and doers, and together we tackle big issues with curiosity, compassion and optimism. As a public university, our mission goes far beyond our campus — and you can help take us in new directions. Come here to explore, create, discover and be part of something bigger.

Because what you care about can change the world.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW HUSKIES!

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to attend the UW. Finances should not be a barrier to getting a world-class education.

Belonging

We strive to create a home away from home for students of all backgrounds. Our large, diverse Husky family has a place for you! The Multicultural Outreach & Recruitment (MOR) team can be your partner and champion throughout the application process and beyond.
