NEW BUSINESS DEGREE OFFERED BY CASCADIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Bothell, WA - Cascadia Community College will offer a new two-year Associate in Business degree beginning this fall. The degree is designed to prepare graduates to transfer to a baccalaureate program at a 4-year college or university. Students will also learn the skills in business analysis, finance and management to help them begin working in a business setting or to select a business field or occupation for their future.

“We are excited to offer this degree to Cascadia students,” said Dr. Sandra Fowler-Hill, Executive Dean for Student Learning. “Many of our students are interested in pursuing careers in business or in starting their own businesses. This program will provide them a solid foundation.”

Business Administration is one of three baccalaureate programs at the University of Washington, Bothell (UWB) participating in the new dual enrollment program with Cascadia Community College. Students who have earned 45 credits at Cascadia Community College are eligible to apply.  Admitted students become official students at both the community college and UWB starting their sophomore year.  Students complete their associate degree while taking upper level courses at UWB. The two institutions are located on the same campus at exit 24 off I-405 in Bothell.
