Starting your UW journey as a first-year student? Join one of our Discovery Seminars—small, discussion-based classes designed to help you hit the ground running. You’ll get to know a supportive faculty member, connect with classmates from across majors, and get an inside look at the resources that will help you thrive at UW. It’s a chance to earn credit, build community, and step into autumn quarter feeling confident and connected.
All Discovery Seminars meet Tuesday through Friday, 9:30am-12:20 pm. Students will earn 5 credits towards their UW degree.
