an interdisciplinary approach at its foundation. It has evolved into a
thriving downtown campus that serves students of a wide variety of ages and

of a major research university, including an extensive library system, but

community collaborations. The campus commitment to diversity is central to
maintaining an atmosphere where students, staff, and faculty find abundant
opportunities for intellectual, personal and professional growth within our
campus and broader community. For more information about UW Tacoma, visit
