The University:
The primary mission of the University of Washington is the preservation, advancement, and dissemination of knowledge. The University preserves
knowledge through its libraries and collections, its courses, and the scholarship of its faculty. It advances new knowledge through many forms
of research, inquiry and discussion; and disseminates it through the classroom and the laboratory, scholarly exchanges, creative practice,
international education, and public service. As one of the nation's outstanding teaching and research institutions, the University is committed
to maintaining an environment for objectivity and imaginative inquiry and for the original scholarship and research that ensure the production
of new knowledge in the free exchange of facts, theories, and ideas.
Founded 4 November 1861, the University of Washington is one of the oldest
state-supported institutions of higher education on the Pacific coast. The University is comprised of three campuses: the Seattle campus is
made up of seventeen schools and colleges whose faculty offer educational opportunities to students ranging from first-year undergraduates
through doctoral-level candidates; the Bothell and Tacoma campuses, each developing a distinctive identity and undergoing rapid growth, offer
diverse programs to upper-division undergraduates and to graduate students.
