HELP GET BCC A BACHELOR'S IN INTERIOR DESIGN!

This Friday, February 6^th, BCC President, Jean Floten, will be attending a hearing with the Senate Higher Education & Workforce Development committee, to answer questions and testify in support of Senate Bill SB-5575. The companion House bill number is HB-1726.

The legislation, if approved, will grant Bellevue College the authority to offer upper-division (300-400 level) courses. This would allow programs such as ours to propose and offer bachelor’s degrees.

We need YOU to call or email your congressmen to let them know that you support this bill. Click here to see more details about contacting the right people.

For you information, you can check out the Bill Language here. The pertinent sections of the bill are Sec. 108 and 109.
