Making Education Possible for Students of All Ages

University of Washington's Youth & Teen Programs are for students in grades 4-12 who love to learn year-round and want to get a taste of a topic they may want to learn more about in the future.

In their own classroom with their own teachers that are trained and mentored by UW faculty, high school students can take University of Washington courses and earn UW credit.

International learners can choose from a wide variety of online and in-person programs designed to improve communication skills, prepare for further study in the United States, and explore American culture, business and other subjects.

Summer Sessions at the University of Washington has something for everyone. Current and incoming UW students, those visiting from other U.S. colleges, high school students, international students, working professionals and other learners are all invited to join us, get the education you need and make the most of your summer.

Whether you want to update your skills or delve into a new field, UW Professional & Continuing Education can help. We make it possible for busy professionals to keep learning at the University of Washington, even if you work full time or live outside of the Seattle area.

For those interested in taking their career to new heights, a degree from the University of Washington is a ticket to expanded possibilities. UW Continuum College supports a range of unique undergraduate and graduate degree programs that bring together world-class faculty and like-minded cohorts in the pursuit of a UW credential.

Adults age 50 and over can network and have community by enrolling in programs, courses and events led by current and retired UW faculty to explore intellectual and cultural topics of interest in a lively learning environment.

Non-Degree Enrollment allows anyone to take regular UW courses and earn credit. Students study alongside degree students with UW professors, earn UW credit and are eligible for some (though not all) student services.
