| A
new agreement between Bellevue Community College
(BCC) and the University of Washington Bothell
will make it possible for eligible BCC students
to take classes and use resources at both schools
concurrently and qualify for guaranteed admission
to all three UW Bothell degree programs: Business
Administration, Interdisciplinary Arts and
Sciences and Computing and Software Systems.
“This agreement creates wonderful
new opportunities for our students,” said
Floten. “Not only will they have access
to a wider array of courses but, as long
as they meet certain criteria, they will
also have assured acceptance into UW Bothell’s
degree programs.”
”The University of Washington Bothell
is proud to be able to further enhance Bellevue
Community College students’ access
and transition to our programs and the ability
to earn a four-year degree,” said Olswang. “We
encourage students at BCC to begin working
with their advisors now to ensure a seamless
transition to UW Bothell and their four-year
degree.”
BCC already sends more students to the UW
Bothell for their junior and senior years
than any other school in the state.
The dual enrollment program works in this
way:
- After earning their first 45 credits
at BCC, and meeting specified program requirements,
students may apply for dual enrollment.
- Those accepted immediately become students
at both BCC and UW Bothell with access
to advising, libraries, computer labs,
career centers and other student
services and activities at both schools.
- Advisors at both BCC and UW Bothell
will help students plan the most effective
use of the dual-enrollment opportunity.
- Dual-enrollment students go on to
complete their associate degree at BCC
while also, if they wish, taking upper-level
courses at UW Bothell.
- After successfully
completing the appropriate BCC associate
degree and certain required
courses at UW Bothell, students are guaranteed
admission
to UW Bothell’s
bachelor’s degree programs in Business Administration, Interdisciplinary
Arts and Sciences and Computing and Software Systems.
The agreement builds on an ongoing relationship
between BCC’s Business Division and
the UW Bothell Business School, both of which
are founding members of the Bellevue Entrepreneur
Center and have offered student consulting
services to underserved minority- and women-owned
small businesses.
