Admission to University of Washington is selective and competitive and is based on a holistic review of application materials. Applicants are required to have a four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in the United States or its equivalent from an international institution. If you have a 3-year undergraduate degree, please contact the central UW Graduate School to clarify if your education will meet the requirement. Applicants are required to have a GPA of at least 3.0 for the last 60 graded semester credits or the last 90 graded quarter credits of their schooling (U.S.), or roughly the equivalent of the last two years of graded study undergraduate. If you have less than a 3.0 GPA for the last 2 years of graded full-time study, it is still possible to be admitted if you are an otherwise outstanding candidate for our program.
