Undergraduate Education
Through the first year Core and Summer Bridge programs, the Office of Undergraduate Education creates a foundation for lower-division education at the University of Washington Tacoma. We play a central role in initiating the four-year student experience at the university, both academically and logistically. We orient students to the academic expectations of the university as well as campus departments, student services and degree programs. To assist students in acquiring the foundational skills they need to effectively prepare for their majors we coordinate with all programs on campus as part of our holistic and inclusive approach to learning.
For Core students, we provide the initial immersion into the college curriculum through a coordinated series of courses and labs offered by faculty from across disciplines.
