Welcome!

Welcome to IAS! "From the heart of downtown Tacoma's vibrant and beautifully renovated museum district, we offer a distinct, cutting-edge educational experience. Our students learn to integrate knowledge and skills from multiple perspectives, and to apply them in ways that make a difference in the local community, the world, and their own lives. We offer small class sizes, easy access to faculty and professional advising staff, and opportunities to participate in world-class faculty research. All of this reflects our shared commitment to putting students and the South Puget Sound region first, while fostering responsible, 21st-century global citizenship." —Larry Knopp, Ph.D. Director

First-Ever IAS Alumni Newsletter - Check it out!

Welcome to Junctions, the first-ever alumni website for the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Program at the University of Washington Tacoma. This twice-yearly publication is intended to connect, reconnect, educate and perhaps even inspire alumni, faculty, current students and staff. One unique aspect of Junctions is that it also serves as an experiential learning space for current and former IAS students interested in web writing and publication. We hope you enjoy this edition of Junctions, which features articles and updates about what alumni and faculty are up to, how the IAS program is developing, and a special feature on the growing important of social networking sites in the job market.
