In alignment with UW Tacoma’s mission, vision and values, the Institute for Innovation and Global Engagement (IIGE) is committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship, research and service. While the rigorous IIGE curriculum and pedagogy of our interdisciplinary faculty are infused by these values, we believe that scholarly, professional and personal development are best served when regular coursework is complemented by in-depth research and experiential learning activities outside of the classroom.
