Global Across the Curriculum
Many courses at UW Bothell (and faculty research) emphasize a global perspective. A key initiative is the COIL Initiative, which enhances global engagement by enabling students to collaborate online with international partners—without the need for travel.
Degree programs with global or international emphasis
Students wishing to emphasize a global perspective in their studies may choose from several majors and minors, such as:
- Global Studies in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences
- English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Endorsement within the Master’s of Education
- Global Health minor in the School of Nursing & Health Studies
COIL Fellows Program
Full-time faculty of all ranks and from all schools, interested in developing a course collaboration with an international partner, are invited to apply for this community of practice and course development funds in November.
