CENTERS AND PROGRAMSCenters and cooperative programs offer unique opportunities for multi- and interdisciplinary inquiry. The College administers five interdisciplinary centers, two of them jointly with other UW academic units. Centers at the UW generally focus on research and outreach. Although centers do not administer academic programs, they are an important resource for graduate and undergraduate student learning and research, including mentoring and funding for masters and PhD students. Other special programs, like the Stand Management Cooperative, are organized as research cooperatives, with members from private industry and government agencies paying an annual fee. Still others are loosely organized as consortia or networks, drawing on the expertise and interests of faculty, students, and staff from the College and throughout the UW.
The College also collaborates with federal agencies, such as the USDA Forest Service, the US Geological Survey, and the National Park Service. In some cases personnel from these agencies are housed at the College and have courtesy faculty appointments.
