Education
- At UW Tacoma, students learn in small classes, getting to know their faculty while participating in research and service projects.
- First-year students complete an innovative core curriculum, which blends different fields of study into interdisciplinary classes. Courses might mix art and ecology, or business and social science.
- The result is a rich learning environment where students are encouraged to challenge themselves.
Research

- Work with faculty to identify funding opportunities for individual research interests as well as high priority areas as identified by our campus leadership and community partners.
- Support the full proposal development and submission process
- Support faculty scholarship and professional development
