Everett Community College
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaEverett Community College (EvCC) is a community college located in Everett, Washington. The college was founded in 1941 and serves more than 19,000 students per year. Most students earn their associate degree in arts and sciences after two years of college, and then some transfer to a four-year college to finish their bachelor's degree. Courses EvCC offers can be tailored to specialized career majors such as programming, nursing, or accounting.
EvCC consists of 13 modern brick buildings on a tree-shaded campus adjoining Legion Memorial Park Golf Course in Everett. The Parks Student Union Building is where most students go for lunch or to the student lounge, The Paperclip, where students can relax and watch TV or a movie. The library is located downstairs and houses reading and studying areas.
In early 1999, the college built a state-of-the-art Instructional Technology Center, Shuksan Hall, named after a local mountain. Whitehorse Hall, the newest building on campus, opened January 2007. The 88,000-square-foot building is home to the college's physical sciences, visual arts, and journalism programs.. The building is part of a 10-year expansion plan that includes an new $40 million undergraduate education center, Gray Wolf Hall, which opened Spring 2009.
In summer 2009, the Everett Community College is scheduled to break ground on a new $24 million Health and Fitness Center off of Tower Street, near its main campus. The 49,000 square foot building will replace the college’s current gym and is scheduled to open in 2010.

Question: everett community college?Everett community college? has anyone ever taken a course at this college..? i m thinking to take the online medical transcription course...wat u guyz think of this course. here iz the link .... www.everettcc.edu/programs/bat/medtrans/11 months ago
Best AnswerI'm currently in my first quarter of the Everett MT program. I'm very happy with it. My instructor has been a medical transcriptionist for decades and is always available to answer questions. I got a Pell grant that covered tuition and materials, so it's basically been free. There are supposed to be a lot of jobs in this field. |
Question: What are the names of some universities or community colleges near Lynnwood, Washington?I have found Central Washington University at Lynnwood and Edmonds Community College. Any others nearby?33 months ago
Best AnswerEverett Community College and Cascadia Community College are both within reasonable commuting distance of the Lynnwood area and are served by Community Transit, Sound Transit, and Cascadia also has some Metro routes serving it. Everett Community College has some Education programs from Western Washington University, and Cascadia shares a campus with University of Washington at Bothell. And if you want to commute down into King County you will find Shoreline Community College in the northern part of the county. You have many great educational resources in Snohomish and King Counties - all on bus lines that go in and out of Lynnwood |
