Two-year colleges trending away from 'community' name - Julie Muhlstein, Herald

Colleges in our region that recently dropped community from their names all grant a specific type of bachelor's degree, a bachelor of applied science. For students who have two-year technical degrees, a bachelor of applied science degree is a fairly new offering from schools that have traditionally been two-year colleges. They are unlike bachelor's degrees granted by universities on the Everett Community College and Edmonds Community College campuses. "It's a very lively conversation," said Susan Kostick, interim communications director for the Seattle Colleges District — which until last week was the Seattle Community Colleges District. http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20140321/NEWS01/140329804/Two-year-colleges-trending-away-from-community-name
