The Gateway Center at the University of Washington

Undergraduate Advising helps students design an overall curriculum, drawing from the programs and opportunities across the entire university. In addition to helping students choose a major and plan their course schedules, advisers work with students to clarify academic as well as personal goals. As educators, advisers emphasize the core skills of critical thinking, decision-making, and the value of broad exposure to a range of different perspectives. The advisers also provide pre-professional advising in a number of areas such as pre-medicine and pre-law.
