Tacoma is a growing urban hub just 35 miles south of Seattle. It is home to a number of major companies, with a lively arts scene and plenty of history and natural beauty. UW Tacoma offers you the chance to study with world-class faculty in a small-campus urban environment.
You should apply as an international student if:
International status does not include:
The University of Washington Tacoma accepts transfer applications from international students who have completed one or more years of study (at least 40 credits) at an accredited higher education institution in the U.S. Students who have earned fewer than 40 college-level credits must apply as freshmen and meet the requirements for international freshman applicants. The minimum number of completed credits and prerequisite coursework requirements to be admitted to a major vary by program.
The University of Washington Tacoma accepts freshman applications from international students who have attended high school entirely in the U.S.
International students can be admitted in any quarter that their chosen degree program regularly admits students.
Note: UW Tacoma currently offers very limited housing for students (including international students), although there are many housing options near the campus. For more information, please visit our housing Web site. Additionally, though we are continuing to expand our services to students, at this time please be aware that there are limited support services available for international students
The information in this section applies primarily to undergraduate students. International students interested in graduate programs at the University of Washington Tacoma should contact the specific program office about admission procedures
