Columbia Basin College students can contract with Washington State University to complete a bachelor's degree without leaving the Tri-Cities. The college maintains campuses in Pasco and Richland. Highlighted facts from the report include:(1) Columbia Basin College offers 26 applied science degree programs and 22 vocational certificate programs of study;(2) the college awarded 15,185 associate degrees between 1957 and 1998;(3) in the 1997-98 academic year, enrollment was at 11,334 students, 56 percent of whom were female; (4) the average age of students was 31 years in 1998; and (5) in 1996, 85 percent of vocational graduates were employed 9 months after leaving CBC. Cultural enrichment programs, student services, and extra-curricular activities are described. A report on the economic impact of CBC on the Tri-Cities community, business partnerships, and the CBC Foundation is included. (CB)
