Pre-Major

Whether you’re in your first year, or beyond, if you’re currently a pre-major (meaning, you have not yet been accepted into a degree program by one of our schools), we have gathered some great resources for you here.

Meta-Majors Pathways

Meta-Majors Pathways are intended to help undergraduate students discover academic, co-curricular, and research opportunities at UW Bothell based on their intended major or field of interest. A meta-major pathway will show you various Degree Maps, which aim to help students visualize a path in order to plan courses each quarter.

Pathways Event

In the early half of Winter Quarter each year, the advisors from all the schools organize a series of events over a week (or sometimes over two weeks) designed to help you learn more about your options at UWB. These events may feature advisors from individual schools, professors, current students, alumni, and representatives from various programs on campus (such as Career Services or Global Studies). If you’re undecided or just want to ask questions about your current choice, you should attend Pathways Week. Check back during Autumn quarter to add the events to your calendar.
