Courses
Courses offered through UW in the High School are official UW courses. They’re listed in the UW course catalog and follow the same curriculum as the course taught on the UW campus. Each course is sponsored by a UW department, which oversees the curriculum and teacher training and support.
Credit earned through a UW course can give you a head start on your college career. If you plan to attend the UW, the credits you earn count toward general education or other requirements. If you plan to go to another institution, the credits are transferable to many other colleges and universities across the United States. Learn more about credits.
