The College of Arts and Sciences, in partnership with the College of the Environment, offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Integrated Sciences. This major provides opportunities for students to build a strong foundation in the biological, physical, and environmental sciences while developing an appreciation for the social and ethical contexts in which science is done. Students engage in rigorous scientific coursework that includes a strong experiential component focused on research, communication, and career and professional development. Students who major in Integrated Sciences develop a deep understanding of the process of science and are well-positioned to solve scientific problems by drawing from and integrating knowledge from a variety of scientific fields. By studying a range of sciences, students are prepared to engage in work that crosses disciplinary boundaries or is part of new scientific fields. The Integrated Sciences program provides students with the necessary preparation for pursuing a wide range of careers and advanced degrees, including (but not limited to) middle or high school science teaching (e.g., via the UW Secondary Master's in Teaching Program), informal science education and outreach (e.g., at museums, aquariums, outdoor education centers, or other science institutions), science writing and communication, science policy and law, and professions across the health sciences.

Location

The U District neighborhood just north of downtown Seattle, where the University of Washington is situated, is an eclectic mix of urban shopping areas; historic homes and architecture; and great cafes, pubs, restaurants, and theaters, having a youthful and relaxed feel with lots of dining and shopping deals to take advantage of.


Much of the charm of the U District can be found in simply strolling the neighborhood. The University of Washington’s gorgeous grounds include historic buildings, gardens, sprawling green spaces and, in spring, blossoming cherry trees. “The Ave,” is a popular gathering place, with lots of indie eateries and funky shops. Attractions include the stellar collections at the Henry Art Gallery and Burke Museum.


Those looking for outdoor pursuits will feel right at home among the students who can often be found kayaking on Lake Union or Portage Bay, biking the Burke-Gilman trail or catching a football game at Husky Stadium, known for its unique tailgating parties (some tailgaters arrive by yacht rather than by car).


The university has three campuses: the primary and largest in the University District of Seattle and two others in Tacoma and Bothell. UW occupies over 500 buildings, with over 20 million gross square footage of space, including the University of Washington Plaza, the 99 m UW Tower, over 26 university libraries, as well as numerous conference centers. The University of Washington library system is the 18th largest library in the United States.
