Campus History University of Washington Bothell 18115 Campus Way NE Bothell, WA 98011‐8246 The story begins in the mid‐1980s when Phone: 425.352.5000 community, business, and education leaders TDD: 425.352.5303 recognized the increasing need for higher education Email: [email protected] in the rapidly growing Puget Sound region. In its 1987 Master Plan, the Washington State Higher Education Coordinating Board gave the University of Washington the responsibility of developing branch campuses. In 1990, the University of Washington Bothell was created to meet that need in the northeast Puget Sound area.
For 10 years, UW Bothell was located in a small business park. In 2000 we moved to our current location on 128 acres of picturesque land that was once home to cattle and dairy farming on the Boone‐Truly ranch.
The University of Washington Bothell has grown into a unique and beautiful campus. Buildings are situated between towering Douglas fir and Western Red Cedar trees. The facilities house state‐of‐the‐art technology to assist faculty and staff. The northeast UW Bothell campus when it was the BooneTruly Ranch. portion of the campus contains 58 acres of high‐ functioning wetland.
Today the University of Washington Bothell has more than 2,200 students and is growing significantly every year. Seven academic programs offer 12 degrees and certificates at the undergraduate, post‐baccalaureate and graduate levels. The programs are designed to serve a diverse population of students who have just completed high school, who have completed some college study and are seeking to complete their baccalaureate degrees, initiate post‐baccalaureate studies, or pursue courses for personal development.
The University of Washington Bothell is accredited as a unit of the University of Washington by the Northwest Association of Schools and Universities. In accordance with the traditions of the University of Washington, we are dedicated to providing UW Bothell campus today. responsive, accessible programs that proudly

The Discovery Core The UW Bothell Lower Division Experience The Discovery Core, a required year‐long sequence of courses, focuses on the learning goals of critical and creative inquiry, social responsibility, interdisciplinarity, and communication skills in order to build a strong student‐centered learning community across the campus. While you will certainly learn about biology and business, mathematics and literature, writing and physics, psychology and sociology, computer science and philosophy, you will explore them not as isolated subjects, but, instead, as they interact with one another in a coherent and dynamic curriculum. The curriculum is centered around integrated and interdisciplinary courses that include either a 5 credit or a team‐taught 10 credit Discovery Core in the fall, a 5 credit Discovery Core in the Winter, and a 5 credit “Research and Experiential Learning” Discovery Core in the spring, which is organized around the construction of a portfolio that reflects on the past year and projects out toward your future.
Transfer students, like the First Year students, enroll in electives in math, science, writing, literature, philosophy, psychology, the arts, law, economics, and other areas that fulfill UW distribution requirements for graduation and prerequisite admission requirements to all the UWB majors. All of the courses administered by CUSP serve to educate students for the 21st century workforce, lay the groundwork for major and
