The Graduate School Preparation Program accommodates a broad range of student research areas and fields of study. You’ll use your graduate program research topic as the focus of your studies. The program culminates in a final conference presentation by all program participants. To prepare for this presentation, you’ll write a graduate-level research paper proposal and create a poster to visually represent your thesis.（该研究生预备项目将涉及到学生各个研究领域。期间学生将着重一个科研主题，并且为该主题进行准备，撰写一篇研究生水平的科研文章开题报告，并且做出海报来进行现场展示）
Each week, students will attend at least one guest lecture given by topic experts and UW faculty. Lectures will cover a wide range of subject areas. The lectures are intended to help broaden student knowledge on academic topics as well as develop comprehension, critical thinking and note-taking skills. You should expect to spend one to three hours nightly on homework, presentations and preparing for the next day's classes.（每周一个华盛顿大学的教授给参加者讲座。讲座题目涵盖领域广，以帮助学生拓宽科研课题知识面，以及培养综合理解，批判性思维以及做笔记技巧）
