What type of classes will I take my freshman year? The first year curriculum is centered around the Discovery Core, a sequence of courses that will engage you in a community of learners, orient you to university academics and social activities, and introduce you to the richness of interdisciplinary learning. In addition to the Discovery Core classes, you will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of electives.
What student life activities are offered at UW Bothell? There are many opportunities for students to get involved outside of the classroom. We have over 30 student organizations you can join.

Our Student Life is always putting together fun, new events, like concerts, comedy shows, sushi and movie night, cooking classes and much, much more.
What student resources will be available to me if I attend?
There are many different academic support services and resources available to UW Bothell students including the Academic Resource Center, Center for University Studies and Programs, Career Development Center, Library, Media Center, Quantitative Skills Center, and Writing Center.

What is it about being a part of a team that we love? Is it the common goal that we work towards? Is it meeting new people? Or is it simply being a getaway for a few hours from the grind of daily life?
Whatever your reason, here at the UW Bothell the Recreational Sports Program offers you opportunities to be a part of a team that bleeds purple and gold!
