CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Bastyr University and Cascadia Community College

Announce Partnership to Benefit Students

(Bothell/Kenmore, WA) – In an effort to increase opportunities for students seeking baccalaureate degrees in the natural health arts and sciences, the presidents of Bastyr University and Cascadia Community College today announced an agreement that will help to propel students through the higher education pipeline in the form of smoother transfers between the two schools.

“This is a perfect example of how educational institutions can work together to expand opportunities and services for their students,” says Eric Murray, President of Cascadia Community College. “In this case, we are making it possible for community college students who matriculate with a two-year degree at Cascadia and meet Bastyr University’s requirements to transfer to one of the most highly respected natural medicine universities in the world.”

The signed agreement opens up a whole new pathway for students who are interested in pursuing a career in this region’s growing natural health industry.
