“My preference has always been to earn my degree from The University of Washington, but working full time and commuting made the prospects unrealistic. Now I can have the benefits of evening classes in the convenient location of Bellevue and earn my degree from the UW. It really is a dream come true.”


ROBERT W. BELLEVUE COLLEGE TRANSFER STUDENT


BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION | EASTSIDE LEADERSHIP CENTER PROGRAM www.uwb.edu/babusiness/elcbabusiness

The Eastside Leadership Center (ELC) in Bellevue hosts the business classes and provides an easily accessible Eastside location, high-tech learning environment, personalized attention and ample parking.

Designed for students and working professionals who wish to complete their last two years of business studies in eight consecutive quarters, the Business Administration program uniquely accomplishes this through a combination of classes conveniently held at the ELC (Monday/Wednesday with occasional Saturdays), experiential learning, and individual and group projects. Within this innovative curriculum is a structured Mentorship Program in which students are individually paired with local business leaders.
