I’m pleased to welcome you to the University of Washington Bothell. Our mission is to provide access to an excellent UW education and to ensure students have a dynamic, hands-on experience, filled with opportunity inside and outside the classroom.

We offer more than 55 undergraduate and graduate degrees — and pride ourselves on creating a small campus community feel that is welcoming and inclusive to all.

I hope you join our diverse community of scholars and learners. Go UW Bothell Huskies!
