The UW educates a diverse student body of approximately 40,000 to become responsible global citizens and future leaders through a challenging learning environment. We have 70 academic departments offering a diverse range of courses taught by top faculty members in their fields. There are 550 different student organizations within the student body ranging from musical and dance groups to cultural, religious and sports clubs. No matter what your interest, the University of Washington can offer you a positive experience both academically and personally. |
| Undergraduate programs open to exchange students | Undergraduates via a university-wide exchange will be admitted to the UW through the College of Arts & Sciences regardless of major in their home country. The college is divided by four academic divisions: art, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. http://www.washington.edu/students/crscat/ |
| Undergraduate programs NOT open to exchange students | Art and Design courses are fully restricted. Communications, Economics, Psychology, and Law, Societies & Justice courses in particular are extremely competitive so students should plan to take courses outside of these areas. If a course attracts more students than there are places, students enrolled in the UW degree program will be given priority above other students, including exchange students. Students hoping to take courses outside of the College of Arts & Sciences do so at their own risk. Many departments have their own departmental exchanges and therefore cannot accommodate students from university-wide partners since priority is given to their own exchange students. Examples of schools/departments that have their own exchanges and may not be able to accommodate university-wide exchange students include, but are not limited to, College of Built Environments, Department of Economics, College of Engineering (including the Department of Computer Science & Engineering). The Foster School of Business will only accommodate students participating in the Foster School departmental exchanges. We cannot guarantee any courses for exchange students so they should be very flexible with their course selections. Professional programs including those offered by the Information School, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and School of Pharmacy, as well as any fee based programs are not available to exchange students. https://depts.washington.edu/registra/students/feeBasedPrograms.php |
| Graduate programs open to exchange students | Graduate students will be enrolled as undergraduates, but may still have access to graduate-level courses at the discretion of the department/instructor. |
| Graduate programs NOT open to exchange students | The same restrictions as above. Fee-based and professional courses are also not open to exchange students. |

▪多国籍な人々が集うシアトルで、多様なバックグラウンドを持つ学生と交流したかったので志望した。また、Jackson School of International Studiesという学部があり、国際政治についての授業が充実していることも理由である。 |
