Established in 1970, North Seattle College provides learning opportunities for a diverse group of more than 14,000 students each year. North is the starting point for many students who transfer to top universities across the country. Strong academic preparation and advising services, small classes, an innovative integrated studies program, broad e-learning options and a variety of partnerships with four-year schools contribute to student success. The college also offers three Bachelor of Applied Science degrees -  in Application Development,  Early Childhood Education and in International Business - and all-in-the-evening Associate of Arts and Associate in Business degree programs.

Successful Transfers & Career Training
