University of Washington

Prospective Students

Pursue your degree at a university that is one of the nation's leading research institutions. The UW has ranked among the nation's top five educational institutions in the receipt of federal research funds for the past 30 years. In recent years, the institution has ranked first among public universities in the receipt of federal grants and contracts.

In a recent study sponsored by the Association for Institutional Research, UW was determined to be a "powerhouse" university. It was one of only seven public research universities demonstrating top effectiveness and efficiency in both research and instruction. The University of Washington annually enrolls more than 43,000 students and employs 4,000 faculty members in 17 schools and colleges.

Pursue your degree in a School that is one of the top five schools of public health. Our School of Public Health, the only accredited school of public health in the Northwest, is consistently ranked among the top five nationally by U.S. News and World Report.

The Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences provides expert assistance to government and community agencies, industry, and business. Due to these service activities, faculty brings knowledge of current public health problems to the classroom and to research projects.

Students can take advantage of internship opportunities in a public agency, private industry, or an academic or international setting. This valuable experience prepares them for employment after graduation, or furthers their education in a graduate or professional degree program.
