The School of Music is rated at conservatory grade, and graduates regularly go on to study at some of the most distinguished music courses in the US. Studying abroad is also a popular option at Puget Sound, with over 40 per cent of students taking the opportunity to take semesters or years overseas at forty available locations ranging from Argentina to Vietnam.

Puget Sound is also home to a wide range of media publications, and a student run radio station at KUPS 90.1FM, known as The Sound. Wetlands is a magazine dedicated to ideas of sexual expression and gender identity, and first published in 1968 is Black Ice, a magazine for students of colour.

A hatchet discovered in 1908 during excavation work at Puget Sound has become a symbol of the university. This discovery led to over a century of competition between classes, colloquially referred to as "hatchet-running". Each class that stole the hatchet would elaborately carve their graduation year into the handle or the blade, until the next class managed to steal it.
