Inner Pipeline
Since Winter of 1998, the Pipeline Project has offered UW students a wide variety of Inner Pipeline seminars each quarter.
Inner Pipeline seminars are offered for a base of 2 credits and focus on various current educational topics. Requirements include participating in a weekly Pipeline seminar and tutoring for at least 2.5 hours a week in the Seattle Public Schools or other community organizations. Seminar topics range from exploring the current K-12 world of education to arts in the schools, science, math, literacy in the justice system, and more. A student may opt to register for 1 credit if it means avoiding an additional registration fee. Students may also register for additional credits.
The number of credits earned for each seminar depends on the number of tutoring hours completed within the quarter:
- 2 credits: 2.5 hours tutoring/week (at least 20 hours tutoring/quarter)
- 3 credits: 5 hours tutoring/week (at least 40 hours tutoring/quarter)
- 4 credits: 7.5 hours tutoring/week (at least 60 hours tutoring/quarter)
- 5 credits: 10 hours tutoring/week (at least 80 hours tutoring/quarter
