Undergraduate Outreach

Professional Conferences

A representative from the UW Information School may be coming to your city! Student Services staff members travel throughout the year to meet outstanding candidates all over the country. We continue to post new outreach and recruiting events as they are planned so check this site regularly.

You are encouraged to meet with one of our representatives at an event near you for a discussion about curriculum and requirements, what you can do with our degrees, application procedures, and course descriptions.

Undergraduate Outreach

The Informatics program offers multiple ways to learn more about the major.  You can attend an information session held on campus, where you can learn about Informatics as a career along with finding our about application procedures and admission and program requirements.  Informatics program representatives also travel to local community colleges to answer questions about Informatics and transferring to the University of Washington.  Find the Informatics schedule of events below.
