Students can earn actual University of Washington college credit while experiencing university life and exploring a vast array of academic subjects.
The University of Washington Summer Sessions for High School Students offers an immersive pre-college experience where students can take actual college-level courses for UW credit. With over 1,000 courses available across more than 100 fields of study, participants can explore diverse academic interests, from computer science and engineering to environmental science and the arts. Students gain valuable skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic rigor, preparing them for future university life. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, with opportunities for academic excursions, project-based activities, and interaction with UW faculty and current students. Participants will build a UW transcript, and grades earned can be included in their GPA if they later enroll as a degree-seeking student at UW. The program aims to provide an authentic preview of undergraduate life, fostering intellectual growth and personal development.
A typical day involves attending college-level courses, participating in academic excursions or recreational activities, and engaging in college prep workshops or personal development programs.
