Welcome to
Olympic College!
On behalf of the faculty and staff, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to
Olympic College. The Aspen Institute recognized Olympic College as one of
the top ten community colleges in the country for its achievements in student
learning, certificate and degree completion, high rates of employment and
earnings for graduates, and high levels of access and success for minority and
low income students. It’s a great time to be a part of OC as we continue to
develop and expand to meet the needs of our students and our community.
OC will provide you with a number of options – you can study to receive an
associate degree or certificate, develop skills that will enable you to succeed in
college level classes, obtain transfer credits toward your bachelor’s degree,
retrain for new job requirements, train for job entry, or take a class for personal
enrichment. Olympic College offers several Bachelor programs - a Bachelor of
Science in Nursing, a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Information
Systems, and, new this fall, a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership
and Technical Management. The College also offers several opportunities to
complete four-year degrees through partnerships with Washington State
University, Western Washington University, and Old Dominion University.
Our three campuses are humming with activity and the promise that a new
academic year inspires. Visit OC Bremerton, OC Poulsbo, or OC Shelton;
come meet the staff and faculty that can help you reach your educational goals.
I hope you find Olympic College as exciting and enriching a place as I do. OC
is a place that respects people, embraces new ideas, and values diversity and
experience. Thank you for choosing Olympic College. We look forward to
seeing you in the 2016-2017 school year.
Sincerely,
David Mitchell, Ph.D.
President
