Options After High School
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
Who: Colleges offer four-year Bachelor’s degrees, and Universities offer Bachelor’s as well as Master’s and Doctorate level degrees. Four year Colleges and Universities often offer a huge course selection and have extensive resources. Class size varies with the subject area, course level and total student enrollment. What: Colleges and universities offer many programs of study. They may provide a liberal arts education or more specific specialization such as nursing or engineering.
BUSINESS, TRADE OR TECHNICAL PROGRAMS
Who: These schools are for students who have chosen particular occupations and want to learn specialized training in a specific field. Many colleges of technology function like a community/technical college and offer general courses that students can use for transfer. These programs are available at privately owned schools and at many community/technical colleges or colleges of technology. Students usually receive a license, a certificate/diploma, or an Associate’s degree. What: These programs offer practical training in specific employment fields such as computers, electronics, automotive, cosmetology and health occupations.
Professors at colleges and smaller universities see teaching as their primary responsibility and classes tend to be smaller than those in universities. Professors at the larger universities are usually involved in both teaching and research. Graduate students, rather than professors, may teach some of the classes at large universities.
How Long: Program completion varies from several weeks to several years, depending on career requirements. Cost: Varies with the program selected and length of the program. Private career programs can sometimes cost significantly more than a degree at a college or university.
How Long: Bachelor’s degrees usually require four years or longer of study. Masters and doctoral degrees require an additional two to six years following the Bachelor degree.
TRIBAL COLLEGES
Who: Tribal colleges are usually smaller colleges that offer certificate programs, Associate degrees and a few offer 4-year degrees.
COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES
Who: Community or technical colleges offer liberal arts or specific career training programs. Students who complete their studies receive a certificate, diploma or an Associate’s degree.
What: Tribal colleges mostly serve American Indian students; especially those living on reservations, but all students are welcomed. There are 33 tribal colleges in the nation.
Several community colleges also offer applied Bachelor’s degrees in high need areas, such as nursing. Many students transfer to a four-year college or university after receiving an Associate’s or applied Bachelor’s degree to continue their education. Other graduates go directly to work.
Who: If you would like career training without attending a technical program or college, and if you learn best by a hands-on approach, you may want to begin an apprenticeship. Examples include automotive, utilities and energy, and construction.
What: Community and technical colleges offer numerous degrees and certificates in a wide variety of academic, professional and technical fields. Check with the college of your choice or go to www.CheckOutACollege.com for more information.
What: Apprenticeship is an organized system through which you learn the practical skills of a trade. A craft worker supervises the learning process while teaching you trade skills on the job.
How Long: Associate degrees usually require two years. Technical Associate degrees, certificates and diplomas may be two years or less. An applied Bachelor’s Degree usually takes four years, as is the case in a university setting.
How Long: Depending on the trade, your training can last from one to four years. While you are learning your trade, you must also take classes on related subjects. This is usually provided by the employer, a community or technical college, or through an approved correspondence course.
APPRENTICESHIP
Cost: The apprentice earns a wage while enrolled in an apprenticeship program; there is little cost for instruction. 1
Options After High School
MILITARY OPTIONS
Who: The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard offer a variety of options for part-time and full-time service including: enlistment, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and the service academies; the US Military Academy, US Naval Academy, US Air Force Academy, and the Coast Guard Academy. How Long: Varies with the specific option selected and associated service obligation. For more information about the military, visit www.todaymilitary.com or www.military.com
VOLUNTEER OR COMMUNITY SERVICE
Who: Students who choose to take time after high school or in between college breaks to explore another culture, travel, or volunteer. What: There are many programs available for students such as: American Field Service (AFS) Intercultural Programs: Offers students a choice of full-year, semester or summer programs abroad. AmeriCorps Corporation for National Service: Offers students full and part-time community service programs. National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS): Offers wilderness education expeditions in the US and abroad. How Long: Formal programs can last from weeks to months. Many students schedule their breaks from school with college calendars. Cost: Many programs are in a volunteer capacity, but stipends may be available for housing and food. Participants may be awarded scholarship incentives for education.
WORK FULL-TIME
Who: If you are interested in starting a career and earning a paycheck right after high school, you may choose to work full-time. What: Full-time work for high school graduates varies, but most jobs are available in the service industry (retail, food industry, etc.) How Long: Most jobs available for high school graduates do not require formal structured training. On-the-job training occurs once employment is secured. Cost: The full-time worker usually earns money on an hourly basis. 2
Factors To Consider As You Compare Colleges & Universities
Curriculum
Campus Life
What do you want to study? Do you have a specific subject in mind, or do you want a more general education? Do you want a range of potential majors and programs? Are you interested in a career that requires professional certification, and does the school provide the necessary training? Do you want to take advantage of special programs, like study abroad and internships?
How is life outside the classroom? What special interest groups, activities, and fraternities/sororities do you want to be involved in?
Campus Security What measures are taken to ensure your safety? What is the community like? How safe are the campus and nearby neighborhoods?
Quality of Education How much contact do you want with your professors? How much does it matter to you whether professors or graduate students teach your courses? How involved do you want to be in research and in learning outside of the classroom?
Athletics
Admission Requirements
Housing and Resources
What are the admissions requirements? What does the school look for in prospective students? What are the chances of being accepted?
If you plan to live on-campus, make sure you check out the quality of dorm life. Find out if housing is guaranteed for returning students. Don’t forget to check on the meal plan and if the school can provide for special dietary needs.
Does the school offer intramural and varsity sports? How are the sports facilities and coaches?
Size
Retention and Graduation Rates
How large or small a school do you want to attend? Do you prefer large lecture halls or small classes with lots of student participation? Want a big campus with many majors, an impressive library, and lots of activities, or a small college where you know people’s names?
Retention rate is the percentage of students who stay for four years. Graduation rate is the percentage of students who graduate within four years. Both rates tell you whether students are satisfied with their experience at the school and get the support they need.
Location Which part of the country would you like to see? Do you want an urban or small-town setting? Do you want to stay close to home?
Cost How much can you afford? What types of financial aid are available?
Facilities What would you like to see on or near your college campus? Are restaurants, shops, and health clubs important to you? What about laundry rooms, the computer lab, the library and research facilities? What about transportation on and around the campus? 3
All About College Admission Tests
Why do you need to take a standardized college admission test?
Additionally, some colleges may require SAT Subject Tests, while some colleges accept the ACT in lieu of the SAT and SAT Subject Tests. Subject Tests are one hour, multiple-choice tests in specific subjects that measure knowledge of skills in a particular subject and the ability to apply that knowledge. Some out-of-state colleges require students to take subject tests. SAT Subject Tests can be taken at most sites during the administration of the standard SAT test.
Since course offerings and grading systems can vary so much from high school to high school, standardized tests are used to evaluate students from schools across the country. College admission test scores are used to supplement high school records and other information in assessing readiness for college-level work. Colleges use the ACT and SAT in a variety of ways:
How can students get help paying for the tests?
Admissions: Colleges use ACT/SAT scores to predict college performance and consider them as one part of the admission decision.
Fee waivers are available for juniors and seniors who meet certain financial eligibility requirements. The ACT offers two fee waivers for either the ACT or ACT Plus Writing. The College Board offers two fee waivers for the SAT and two fee waivers for the SAT Subject Tests. Check with your school’s Counseling Office or Career Center for more information.
Course Placement: ACT and SAT scores are often used for course placement and sometimes used by colleges to determine if an entering student needs local course placement testing. Scholarships: For certain institutional grants, eligibility is sometimes determined using test scores.
What are the major differences between the two tests? The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement test, measuring what a student has learned in school. The ACT includes English, math, reading, and science, and has an optional writing test. There is no penalty for answering a question incorrectly. The SAT assesses how well students analyze and solve problems using the knowledge they have obtained in school and outside reading and study. The SAT tests critical reading, math, and writing. Students are docked a fraction of a point for wrong answers. The highest combined score on the ACT is a 36. The highest combined score on the SAT is 2400.
How do you decide which test you should take? Virtually all colleges in the U.S. accept either the ACT or the SAT. Many students choose to take them both, since most colleges will use your higher score. It is important to find out each institution’s testing policy. For example, some colleges require the Writing Test. The Writing Test is included as part of the SAT and optional on the ACT. 4
Comparing ACT and SAT
ACT Testing, Philosophy, Format, and Preparation
SAT
The ACT is an achievement test that assesses the knowledge you’ve acquired through subjects (English, math, reading, and science) and the skills taught in high school. It measures your readiness for college.
The SAT is a measure of the critical thinking skills students need for academic success in college. The test allows students to demonstrate their analytical and problem solving abilities regardless of the instruction they have received.
Taking rigorous courses in high school is important preparation for the ACT. Test prep materials can also help you understand the content and format of the ACT. ACT online resources at www.actstudent.org gives you access to free sample test questions, College Readiness Standards, and test-taking strategies. Students who have taken PLAN, the preliminary ACT, in 10th grade and the EXPLORE in 8th or 9th grade benefit from these practice tests for the ACT.
The best way to prepare for the SAT is to take rigorous courses, and become aware of what to expect on test day. The PSAT/NMSQT serves as a great practice test, and the online resources can assist students in improving their score. The SAT Preparation Center at www.collegeboard. com/srp offers free resources including test-taking approaches, practice questions/essays, and a practice test that gives answer explanations and a score report. Total testing time: 3 hours and 45 minutes (including 25-minute experimental section).
Total testing time: 2 hours and 55 minutes (plus 30 minutes if taking the optional Writing Test). Test Content and Structure
The ACT consists of four multiple-choice subject tests: 1. The English Test covers basic grammar and how to put sentences together to form paragraphs. 2. The Math Test covers six areas of high school math: pre-algebra, elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, coordinate geometry, plane geometry and trigonometry. 3. The Reading Test consists of four passages, accompanied by a set of questions about what you have just read. 4. The Science Test assesses your ability to understand, analyze, interpret, and evaluate data. The test consists of passages that contain a mixture of graphs, charts, and explanatory text. Each passage is followed by 5 to 7 questions. 5. The optional Writing Test consists of one writing prompt that states an issue and describes two points of view; you then write a response.
The SAT covers three major topics: 1. The Critical Reading section measures a student’s ability to identify genre, relationships among parts of a text, cause and effect, rhetorical devices, and comparative arguments. 2. The Math section covers topics in basic numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. 3. The Writing Section includes 1 essay and 49 multiple choice questions. The essay measures a student’s skill in developing and expressing a point of view on an issue. The two multiple choice sections assess the ability to use language in a clear, coherent manner and to improve a piece of writing through revision and editing. 4. There is a variable section that does not count toward the final score, but helps the test-makers try out new questions and ensures that scores can be compared to earlier test administrations.

Comparing ACT and SAT
ACT Test Scoring
SAT
There are 12 separate scores on the ACT: 1 composite score, 4 subject scores, and 7 sub-scores. The composite score is the average of the 4 subject scores and is used for admission.
The SAT has 3 scores, Critical Reading, Math, and Writing, each on a scale of 200 to 800.
The ACT is scored based on the number of questions answered correctly, with no penalty for incorrect answers.
For the writing section, there are 2 sub-scores. The essay sub-score is reported on a 2-12 scale. The essay counts for approximately 30% of the writing section score. The multiple choice sub-score is reported on a 20-80 scale. The multiple choice section counts for approximately 70% of the Writing section score.
Scores are based on the number of correct answers. A fraction of a point is deducted for incorrect answers.
If you take the optional writing test, your score report will include a writing test subscore and a combined english/writing score, plus comments about your essay. Your essay is available to your high school and the colleges to which you sent your scores from that test date.
The maximum combined score for all three sections is 2400.
The highest score on the ACT is 36.
Registration
The ACT is offered six times a year. You may register online at www.actstudent.org or contact your high school guidance counselor for ACT registration materials.
The SAT is offered seven times a year. Registration materials can be obtained through high school guidance counseling offices or online at www.collegeboard.com
Cost
The ACT test is $33.00.
The SAT test is $47.00; Subject Tests are $21.00.
Add $15.00 if you choose to take the ACT plus the optional Writing Test.
High school juniors and seniors who meet certain eligibility requirements can qualify for the use of two SAT fee waivers, which cover the basic test fee, the Question-and-Answer Service or Student Answer Service, and qualifies students for four application fee waivers for colleges that participate in the College Board’s Fee Waiver program.
High school juniors and seniors who need financial assistance should see their School Counselor for information on a fee waiver.

Financing Your Education Need-Based Financial Aid and Merit-Based Aid
Types of Need-Based Financial Assistance When a student and his/her family lack the financial resources required to attend college, financial aid packages consisting of grants, scholarships, work-study, and/or loans can help. There are two types of aid a college awards in their financial aid package. The first type is gift money and the second is self-help. Both forms of assistance can make attending the college of your choice a reasonable financial option.
Self-Help Money
Gift Money
This type of aid does not need to be repaid. Gift money can come in the form of a need-based grants or scholarship.
Most financial aid packages contain some form of self-help money. This can be in the form of work-study or loans.
Federal Pell Grant The Federal Pell Grant is designed to help those students with the greatest need. In recent years, the award amounts ranged from $400 - $4050, depending upon the level of need.
Work-Study Work-Study is funded in three different ways. Federal WorkStudy (the money comes from the federal government), Washington State Work-Study (the money comes from the Washington Legislature), and college work-study (the money comes directly from the college). Students are guaranteed a part-time job at or above minimum wage, but are limited to the number of hours they can work each academic year.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant The FSEOG is also designed to help the exceptional need student. Awards are determined by each institution. Academic Competitiveness Grant The ACG provides money for the first and second years of undergraduate study to full-time students. Students must be U.S. citizens, eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, and have successfully completed high school. Second year students must also have maintained a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0.
Loans Student loans are a reality for many students attending college. Students need to be aware of the type of loan they are assuming and what the repayment schedule is. The Federal Stafford/Federal Direct Loan program is divided into two forms. Students who show need can be awarded a federally subsidized student loan, where the federal government pays the interest while students are enrolled in college.
The Washington State Need Grant WSNG is funded by the Washington Legislature. The college’s financial aid office determines the student’s eligibility for this award. The dollar amount of the awards varies according to the student’s and parents’ ability to contribute, as well as the cost of the education at specific institutions.
The other type of loan is the unsubsidized student loan. This means that while students are in college, they will need to make the interest payments on the loan. These are generally granted to students who do not show a financial need.
Scholarships
Institutional scholarships and grants are scholarships that the college offers to students who need the money. Some grants and scholarships are offered automatically to qualified students, others require an application. Quite often this money is donated to the college specifically to help deserving students attend. Not all colleges offer these grants so check with admission or financial aid offices.
The Federal Parent’s Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is designed to permit parents of dependent students to borrow for a student’s educational costs. These loans are made in the parents name and are the responsibility of the parent to repay.
Private Scholarships are offered by foundations and organizations for students who meet certain criteria. Students must apply for the scholarship, often with an essay. Visit theWashBoard.org for Washington-based scholarships. Scam alert: never pay to apply or search for scholarships.

Financing Your Education Continued
How To Receive A Financial Aid Award:
Deadlines Are Important!
1) The first step in receiving financial aid is to apply for admission to the colleges of your choice.
Pay close attention to all deadlines. Financial aid applications need to be submitted in a timely manner and most scholarship opportunities have strict deadlines. Allow ample time for their applications to travel in the mail. Copies need to be kept of all applications mailed as well as the dates mailed.
2) The second step is to apply for financial aid by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Most students apply for financial aid on-line because it is quicker and more accurate than the paper application. To apply, students and their parents should register for a federal pin number at www.pin.ed.gov. The pin number is used as an electronic signature for the on-line financial aid application located at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Access to the on-line application is available on January 1 of each year for the next academic school year. Many colleges require that students file for financial aid by early to mid-February.

3) The third step is to be patient. Students will need to be admitted to the college before they can receive a financial aid award. Colleges generally send financial aid awards in late March or early April. Students needing help should call the college or see their high school counselor.

How it works:
While most financial aid dollars are based on financial need, there are other options available for financing a college education.

The Application Process
To make the application process successful, there are several important steps in applying to colleges and universities. The following suggestions will help guide you through the process.
Getting Official Transcripts
Remember: Applying for financial aid is a separate application process! It starts with filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Even if you think you don’t qualify for aid, be sure to complete the FAFSA; many scholarship programs depend on FAFSA information.
Check with your guidance counselor to find out what you need to do to get transcripts sent to your selected colleges. There may be a minimal charge for sending them out. Remember, you’re not the only senior who needs transcripts, so keep in mind time constraints and deadlines.
The transcript is your official high school academic record. It contains a list of your courses and grades, an explanation of the school’s grading scale, a list of the school’s course offerings and your graduation date.
Sending Test Scores
When you took standardized tests such as the ACT or SAT, you probably listed the names of several colleges on the test form. The testing organization forwards your scores directly to those colleges. If you decide to apply to other colleges after you take the test, contact the testing organization and supply the college information. For a small fee, they’ll forward your test scores to the new college.
Application Process Tips
1. Determine what is required for each college, including application fee. 2. Create a list of tasks associated with each colleges’ requirements. 3. Check deadlines for each college. 4. Make sure you allow for extra time to request forms and transcripts; obtain letters of recommendation if required, and write essays. 5. Assign a timeline to each task (begin and end date). 6. Check off each task as you complete it. 7. Keep copies of everything you submit and organize it in a folder.
To have your ACT scores forwarded to your college, contact ACT at 319.337.1270. To have your SAT scores forwarded to your college, contact SAT Program Customer Service at 866.756.7346.
Getting Recommendations
Types of Applications
Not all colleges require recommendations, but many do. Carefully check if letters are required, and ask If the college you are applying does. Two letters of recommendation are usually required for your application. Request recommendations from people who know your strengths, and give them at least three weeks notice. Teachers and counselors are usually the best choices. An employer or community leader can be another option if he or she knows you well and can emphasize your good qualities and achievements.
Customized: Many colleges have application forms that may be requested by telephone, mail, or the college website. Be sure to follow directions as explained on each form. Common Application: If your college is one of the more than 200 U.S. colleges using this form, you can get a copy from your guidance office. Make additional copies, if needed, and send the completed form to each college. Two-part application: If your college uses a two-part application, submit Part I (mostly name and address information) as soon as possible (usually September). The college will send you Part II after it receives Part I.
Writing Essays
Essay questions on applications help college admissions officers understand your motivations, creativity, and personality. That’s why it is important to start writing your essays as early as possible. Make your essays personal, but stay within the guidelines. Be sure you answer the questions as they are written. Have multiple people read your essay and give suggestions, but remember that the content and perspective that you give to the question should be your own. Colleges use the essays to learn more about who you are as a person, so be genuine and authentic.

College Athletics
College Divisions
If you excel as a student-athlete in high school, you may be interested in pursuing intercollegiate athletics in college. When you consider participating in competitive sports at the collegiate level, first consider the following:
At most colleges, athletics are regulated by the rules established by governing associations which divide college sports programs into three divisions known as Division I, II, and III. To be eligible to participate at the Division I or II level, where full athletic scholarships are available, students must be certified as eligible by the Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse. Those regulations vary depending on the type of school you attend. There are two governing associations for college athletics: NCAA and NAIA.
• Can you meet the academic eligibility and core-course requirements of the NCAA or NAIA? • What are the graduation rates of the students in the athletics programs? • Ask what academic support services are available and how academic progress is tracked.
What is the NCAA?
You may also consider the intramural and club sports offered at nearly all colleges and universities. They are an excellent option to pursue your athletics while maintaining focus on academics.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a voluntary organization through which the nation’s colleges and universities govern their athletics programs. It comprises more than 1,250 institutions, conferences, organizations and individuals committed to the best interests, education and athletics participation of student-athletes.
Pursuing a Professional Sports Career
If you’re considering collegiate athletics because of an interest in pursuing a professional career in sports, remember to also pay close attention to your academic career. Very few high school stars and only about 5 percent of college athletes go on to professional careers.
Schools in Division I compete at the major-college level. Most NCAA schools are the larger colleges and universities. The NCAA sponsors 87 championships in 22 sports. Almost 24,500 men and women student-athletes compete annually for NCAA titles.
Be aware of the following facts: • There are nearly 1 million high-school football players and about 550,000 high school basketball players. • Of those numbers, about 250 make it to the NFL and about 50 make it to an NBA team. • Odds of a high-school football player making it to the pros at all, let alone having a career, are about 6,000 to 1. • Odds for a high-school basketball player are 10,000 to 1.
The NCAA: 700 W. Washington Avenue, PO Box 6222 Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6222 317.917.6222 (phone), 317.917.6888 (fax) www.ncaa.org
What is the NAIA?
Think about those numbers and your future. With a college education, you will receive more career opportunities in life after sports.
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) was founded in 1952 and is made up of 300 schools. Most NAIA schools are smaller colleges.
Suggestions For Student Athletes Preparing For College:
The NAIA: 23500 W. 105th Street, P.O. Box 1325 Olathe, KS 66051-1325 913.791.0044 www.naia.org
• Inform your counselor that you are interested in competing in athletics at the college level. Counselors can outline the athletic recruiting process and what your role should be in the process. • Inform your high school coach that you are interested in playing your sport in college. • Prepare and mail a short letter of introduction and an athletic resume to college coaches. • Be familiar with the NAIA and NCAA rules regarding the recruitment of athletes. • Register with the NCAA Clearinghouse if you plan to play a sport at a Division I or Division II college. • Register with the NAIA if you plan to play at a NAIA school.

General Information Located in the midst of 1,000 forested acres and just outside downtown Olympia, Evergreen is a public, four-year liberal arts and sciences college. From the moment its doors opened in 1971, it established itself as one of the most innovative institutions in the country. Educational experts, major newspapers and national magazines regularly affirm its place as a living example of the direction in which higher education should be moving. For example, since 2003, U.S. News & World Report has rated Evergreen as a top learning community in the nation. The College continues to gain national recognition, including being selected as one of only three institutions on the west coast to be included among Loren Pope’s Colleges That Change Lives. So, what is it about Evergreen that makes it so special? • Evergreen actively engages students in the design of their own unique academic pathway. Challenging topics will come alive when applied in a meaningful context, and it is understood at Evergreen that genuine curiosity is critical to real learning. Thus, in all four years (not just in upper-division seminars) they offer: • A curriculum that is innovative, flexible and challenging. Students enroll in a single, comprehensive program (covering a broad range of subjects) rather than a series of separate isolated courses. • A commitment to undergraduate education that focuses on the liberal arts and sciences. • Small interactive classes and labs rather than big lectures. • Close work with experienced faculty. • Opportunities for undergraduate research and out-of-classroom learning. • Opportunities for students to design personalized academic programs. • Smaller enrollment allowing students to be recognized as individuals. •
Estimated Annual Expenses • For full time students in 2010-11 • Tuition & Fees: $6,703 • Room & Board: $8,460 • Books & Supplies: $972
Financial Aid & Scholarships Financial Assistance: Evergreen’s goal is to provide sufficient financial aid so that qualified students can attend.

Opportunities for Students The Outdoor Program provides opportunities to explore and also builds leaders, promotes teamwork, and instills confidence. Whitman’s campus and Walla Walla personify a western ethos that is friendly, open, and encouraging. Off-Campus Studies allow students to gain exposure to other cultures. In their junior year, about 45 percent of Whitman students immerse themselves in the life and language of another culture. For such study, Whitman students earn academic credit in programs affiliated with or approved by the College. More important, they gain a perspective – consistent with the goals of the liberal arts – that frees them from narrowness, enhances their leadership capabilities, and increases their understanding of other points of view. Whitman’s Undergraduate Conference showcases the results of student research and scholarship. One day each year, students participate in a campuswide celebration of student academic research. Students give talks, make poster presentations, exhibit their art, and perform original work. This Whitman tradition, one of the few such conferences in the nation, pulls together the results of coursework, theses, summer internships, collaboration with faculty, and study abroad. The Student Engagement Center assists students seeking internships for both academic year and summer opportunities. Some scholarship money is available for students serving in unpaid internships. The Harper Joy Theatre, soon to undergo renovation, stages up to ten plays/ musicals a year and also hosts student one-acts. Any student, regardless of major, is eligible to participate in theatre.
Housing Seventy-five percent of Whitman students live on campus, either in one of the nine residence halls or (after the first year) in one of Whitman’s fraternities and sororities. After the first year, student may also choose to live in one of the College’s 11 interest houses
– whose themes include community service, multicultural issues, writing, environmental awareness, and a number of languages – or in one of the many apartments or houses just off campus. Three of the first-year residence halls have dining facilities, each with carried menus that include vegetarian and vegan options.
Sports & Recreation Whitman is a member of the NCAA Division III and the Northwest Conference. It fields 14 varsity sports teams, including men’s and women’s cross country, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis and basketball, as well as baseball for men and volleyball for women.

This quick reference chart lists some of the professional/technical programs offered at Washington community and technical colleges. For more information about the preceding chart, please refer to the programs of study listed in the respective college pages. Many of these programs are two-year sequences leading to an associate degree. Some one-year and one-quarter options may not be listed; please contact the respective schools for more information. Almost all of the programs may vary in length as well as in emphasis to suit specific needs of students and employers. Some of the programs are transferable to four-year colleges and universities toward the bachelor’s degree. Refer to the institution catalogs or website for more detailed information. It should be noted that in some programs the enrollment may be limited and/or special admission criteria must be satisfied. 74 74 2011-12 Washington Higher Ed Book www.washingtoncouncil.org
Community College Transfer to Washington Baccalaureate Colleges and Universities Established in 1970 under its parent organization, the Washington Council for High School-College Relations, the Inter-college Relations Committee (ICRC) is a voluntary association, which exists to facilitate the transfer of students between two and four-year colleges and universities in the State of Washington. Through the efforts of the ICRC, a number of transfer options have been designed to allow students to transfer among educational institutions with maximum flexibility. The associate degree options depend on the student’s future major. Students planning liberal arts bachelor’s degrees are well suited by the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) Associate degree. Students planning science or engineering-based bachelor’s degrees should follow the Associate of Science-Transfer (AS-T) degree pathways. Students with an immediate job goal but also an interest in transfer should complete an Associate in Applied-Science (AAS-T) degree. These statewide agreements assure the transfer of credit, but not automatic admission, since each institution and the specific colleges within the institution have separate admission criteria, which may be based on grades, test scores, preparation for major and other considerations. Whatever option they choose, students who wish to make full use of community and technical college courses for university transfer should consult a community or technical college adviser early in their college careers. Additionally, most universities have advisers who travel to the community and technical colleges several times a year to meet with students who intend to transfer.
The Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) Associate Degree Guidelines - Liberal Arts Fields General Education Requirements Essentially, the ICRC transfer agreements ensure that a student who completes a DTA Associate of Arts (A.A.), or other designated direct transfer degree at a community college in the state of Washington will have satisfied all or most of the general education or core requirements at the 4 year colleges and universities listed on the next page that subscribe to the ICRC guidelines. The transfer student who has earned a degree covered by the guidelines will generally have junior-level standing (a minimum of 90 quarter credits or 60 semester credits) at the receiving institution. Students who transfer within these agreements must still meet requirements for major, minor and professional programs. Many of these requirements can be completed within the parameters of one of the transfer degrees. Specialized DTA degrees, such as the Associate in Business-DTA, will build major prerequisites into the degree.
75
The DTA Associate degree has the following characteristics: 1. It is issued to students who have earned a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00. 2. It is made up of a minimum of 90 quarter hours of transferable credit, including a minimum of 60 quarter hours of general education courses as described below: a. Communication Skills: 10 credits b. Quantitative Skills : 5 credits, Proficiency in Intermediate Algebra required c. Humanities: 15 – 20 credits d. Social Sciences: 15 – 20 credits e. Natural Sciences: 15 – 20 credits The remaining credits are selected by the student with the help of the college adviser or may be specified in one of the several Major Ready Pathway (MRP) associate degrees based on the DTA structure. The current DTA/MRP degrees are: Associate in Business Associate in Math Ed Associate in Pre-Nursing Associate in Elementary Education
Community College Transfer toCollege Washington Baccalaureate Colleges Community Transfer to and Universities Continued Washington Baccalaureate Colleges and Universities (Cont.) Associate of Science-Transfer (AS-T) Degrees Science and Engineering-Based Fields These degrees are specifically designed to prepare community college students for transfer to -- and study in -- majors such as biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, engineering technology, environmental science, geology, natural science, physical science, and physics. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee admission to the major. It partially satisfies the lower division core or general education requirements for the university with a minimum of 3 courses in the humanities and social science areas required subsequent to transfer. The AS-T degree has the following characteristics: 1. It is issued to students who have earned a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00. 2. It is made up of a minimum of 90 quarter hours of transferable credit, including a minimum of 45 quarter hours of general education courses as described below: a. Communication Skills: minimum of 5 credits b. Mathematics: 10 credits at calculus or higher, proficiency in Intermediate Algebra required. c. Humanities/Fine Arts/English and Social Sciences: 15 credits with a minimum of 5 each in humanities and social science and an additional 5 from one area or the other. d. Science: varying by field of study selected by the student with the help of the college adviser or may be specified in one of the several Major Ready Pathway (MRP) associate degrees based on the AS-T structure. The current AS-T/MRP degrees are: Associate in Science Education: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and General Science for secondary education teachers Associate in Computer & Electrical Engineering Associate in Mechanical, Civil, Material Science Engineering Associate in Bio- and Chemical Engineering
Associate in Applied Science-T (AAS-T) Degree The Associate in Applied Science-T (AAS-T) degree is built upon the technical courses required for job preparation and includes a college-level general education component. The AAS-T does not fulfill general education requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Baccalaureate institutions who subscribe to ICRC Guidelines are not required to accept AAS-T degrees as preparation for junior status. Transferability of an AAS-T degree is limited to state and local agreements between the community and technical colleges system and specific baccalaureate institutions. Students following this degree plan are encouraged to work closely with their academic advisor and their intended transfer institution. The AAS-T degree has the following characteristics: 1.It is issued to students who have earned a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00. 2.It is made up of a minimum of 90 quarter hours of transferable credit, including a minimum of 20 quarter hours of general education courses as described below and a minimum of 70 credits as prescribed by the industry advisory committee: a. Communication Skills: minimum of 5 credits b. Mathematics: 5 credits, Proficiency in Intermediate Algebra required c. Humanities/Social Sciences and Natural Science: minimum of 10 credits AAS-T transfer agreements allow AAS-T graduates to transfer to the following bachelor’s degree options: CWU’s Bachelor’s of Applied Science degrees in Safety and Health Management, Industrial Technology, Information Technology and Administrative Management and Food Service Management Seattle Pacific University, BS or BA with a major in Professional Studies The Evergreen State College (TESC) Upside Down Degree – requires a minimum of 25 general education credits Whitworth - Upside Down Degree within the Bachelor of Liberal Studies University of Phoenix Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) DeVry University Bachelor of Science in Technical Management

The Higher Education Coordinating Board for the state of Washington has published a “Policy on Inter-college Transfer and Articulation among Washington Public Colleges and Universities,” which spells out students’ rights in the transfer process. This policy states in part, “Students have the right to expect fair and equitable treatment from the public colleges and universities in Washington, both sending and receiving institutions. They have, in turn, the responsibility of seeking our current information pertaining to their educational objectives and for acquiring appropriate information when they change their academic plans. When a student changes their major or degree program, the student assumes full responsibility for meeting the new requirements. Colleges shall make every effort to help students make transitions as smoothly as is feasible.”
Colleges and Universities in Washington that Subscribe to the ICRC Guidelines There are 22 baccalaureate institutions that accept the DTA and AS-T degrees under the Intercollege Relations Degree Guidelines. These institutions are listed below. Please visit their websites for more information.
