DISCOVER the WORLD. . .
The Discovery Core curriculum is a sequence of courses that deepens our sense of ourselves and our vocations as we learn how different forms of knowledge impact our communities, both local and global.
Director's Welcome
Dear Fellow Learners,
Welcome to the Center for University Studies and Programs (CUSP). We organize and support the academic experience of first-year and pre-major students at UW Bothell.
Our curriculum is centered on the Discovery Core, a sequence of courses that deepens our sense of ourselves and our vocations as we learn how different forms of knowledge impact our communities, both local and global. We will work, in the classroom and beyond, on engagement with different communities in the region, critical and creative inquiry, quantitative literacy, and communication skills. We will learn the arts of self-reflection and learn about biology and business, mathematics and literature, psychology and economics, computer science and the arts, as well as about how these topics interact with one another in an interdisciplinary fashion. We look forward to working with you.
Welcome to the University of Washington Bothell!
Best,
Gray Kochhar-Lindgren, Director
