2 . The University of Washington
The University of Washington, commonly referred to as simply Washington or UW, is a public research university based in Seattle, Washington, United States. Washington is one of the oldest universities on the West Coast and features one of the most highly regarded medical schools in the world. It has three campuses: the oldest and largest in the University District of Seattle and two others in Tacoma and Bothell.
In 1861, scouting began for an appropriate 10acre site in Seattle to serve as the campus for a new university. Arthur and Mary Denny donated eight acres, and fellow pioneers Edward Lander and Charlie and Mary Terry donated two acres to the university at a site on Denny’s Knoll in downtown Seattle.
The University of Washington opened officially on November 4, 1861. The school struggled at first, closing three times: in 1863 for lack of students, and again in 1867 and 1876 due to shortage of funds. However, Clara Wilt became the first graduate of UW in 1876 when she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in science. By the time Washington entered the Union in 1889, both Seattle and the university had grown rapidly. A special committee headed by UW graduate Edmond Meany was created for the purpose of finding a new campus better able to serve the growing student population. The committee selected a site on Union Bay northeast of downtown. The university moved from downtown to the new campus in 1895.
The university opened campuses in Bothell and Tacoma in 1990. At first, the two campuses offered curricula for students seeking bachelor’s degrees who have already completed two years of higher education, but both schools have turned to four-year universities, accepting the first freshman class in the fall of 2006. Both campuses offer master’s degree programs as well. In 2009 the university opened an office in the Spanish city of León in collaboration with the local university.
