Eastern Washington University Outreach Program
Thanks to the EWU at Bellevue College campus, students don’t have to relocate or change their lifestyle in order to obtain a baccalaureate degree. We offer a low student-faculty ratio, creating an enriching learning environment.
From engaging student interaction in the classroom, to professional development within the community, each accredited program is designed with convenience and flexibility in mind, making EWU at BC an excellent opportunity for students and professionals alike.
The Department of Psychology offers a degree at the Bachelor of Arts level on the Bellevue College campus. Our undergraduate program is designed to cover the essential areas of contemporary psychology and offer opportunities for focused and specialized learning. Undergraduate students have the opportunity to be actively involved with current research and internship experiences in the community. Among the core courses offered are: Theories of Personality, Abnormal Psychology, Foundations of Psychotherapy, Scientific Principles of Psychology, and Introductory Statistics. A psychology minor is also available to all students pursuing other majors.
Prior Learning Option
Eastern’s Prior Learning Program is designed for the adult learner who has a minimum of five years of professional career experiences. Eastern’s program is based on the philosophy that adult learners have acquired university-level learning through their career experience. Prior Learning participants are awarded elective credits by articulating and illustrating their experiences in a portfolio that is evaluated by EWU faculty. Portfolios are prepared during their enrollment in the ITDS 300 Portfolio Development course.
Interdisciplinary Option: Social Sciences
This program is designed for the student who is seeking a wide and varied curriculum which builds on a solid foundation of social and behavioral sciences. The integrated curriculum includes courses from anthropology, communication studies, economics, geography, government, history, interdisciplinary studies, psychology, sociology and women’s studies.
The curriculum of this interdisciplinary program provides a strong holistic background in the study of children from birth to 18 years. Theory and practice from the disciplines of special education, psychology, and education form the basis for this integrated curriculum. Children’s studies courses provide foundational and global perspectives of children and childhood. A choice of concentration areas, which culminate in a capstone experience and a senior portfolio, allows students to connect effectively with specific career opportunities.
This program is designed for students who have graduated with an associate degree in a technical area from a variety of Washington State Community Colleges. This degree allows students to continue their education by taking additional advanced technology courses, general education coursework, and supporting courses to complete a bachelor of science degree.
