Welcome! This is a particularly exciting time in the history of our college. In April 2009 we officially changed our name to Bellevue College, dropping “Com- munity” from our name, but not our commitment to serve our community, our mission to support the excellence of all of our students, and our dedication to an open-door admission policy. We are proud that Bellevue College’s first bachelor’s degree graduates in Radiation and Imaging Sciences were awarded their diplomas in June 2009. All 19 students are currently employed in their fields, many at salaries in the upper 5-digit range. Our Bachelor of Applied Arts (BAA) in Interior Design program was launched winter quarter, 2010. If you want to complete your first two years of college at a community college, you will join the vast majority of our students and remain our primary focus. Irrespective of whether your goal is to transfer to a university, launch a career by acquiring a professional or technical degree or certificate, update your current job skills or simply enrich your life and pursue your interests, Bellevue College is a phenomenal place to help you “Become Exceptional.” Another cause for excitement is our new $34 million science building, the eleventh instructional facility on our 96- acre main campus which opened in spring 2009. The three-story, 64,000 square-foot facility houses BC’s Life Sciences and Chemistry programs providing space for classes in chemistry, biology, microbiology, oceanography and marine biology. The building contains five high-tech classrooms and 16 advanced laboratories, including DNA-sequencer and scanning-electron-microscope labs. You will love taking classes in these new facilities. Please know that all of us at BC are committed to your success. Our dedicated instructors are here specifically because they want to teach, not publish or do research. We offer you small classes that make it easy to get to know your instructors and other students and receive individual assistance. Plus, we offer comprehensive services to support your education – everything from tutoring to academic advising, career planning, internships, and adaptive assistance for disabilities and special support for those of you who are from low-income homes or are the first in your families ever to go to college. BC offers a rich college life both in and outside the classroom. With more than 80 student organizations, students have many opportunities to build leadership skills and develop connections with other students. Choices run the gamut from working on the student newspaper to singing with our nationally renowned jazz group, performing in our drama and dance ensembles to playing a varsity sport. Learning comes alive at BC through a host of exceptional learning environments, such as our planetarium with 3-D animation that allows you to walk the surface of Mars virtually. Here you can pursue your passion – or discover your passion – through our rich mix of programs and classes, exceptional instructors, outstanding speakers, and numerous campus activities. Join us and let us help you fulfill
