Running Start students enter UW Bothell as first-year students, but their college coursework may shape their academic plan and timeline for entering a major. Learn how Running Start credits are evaluated, how they may apply toward degree and prerequisite requirements, and how different majors admit students. Advisors will also explain when students may be ready to declare or apply to a major, including before their first autumn quarter, and how to plan future coursework around the credits they have already completed.
