College PARTNERSHIP Programs

New University Partnerships Programs!
AMHS is proud to announce new partnerships that will expand higher education opportunities for our students.

Seattle University & University of Portland

Through formal Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Seattle University and the University of Portland, qualified AMHS students will now be guaranteed admission and substantial scholarships to both universities.

Under the terms of the agreement, Archbishop Murphy students who achieve a 3.3 cumulative GPA will gain automatic admission to each institution. This initiative underscores the shared commitment between AMHS and these leading Catholic universities to provide exceptional pathways for students to continue their education in faith-based, academically rigorous environments.

Western Washington University

Western Washington University is launching a new initiative, the Western Guaranteed Admission Program (WEGAP), designed to reduce barriers and expand access to higher education for students across the region.

Through this program, eligible seniors may fill out a short form at any time to confirm eligibility. They will be admitted to Western without the need for an extended application or application fee. Students will then receive an admissions notification directly in December.
