Students complete 90 credits on average; this varies depending on previous college coursework.The college is planning to launch the Academy for Rising Educators (ARE) BAS Cohort in partnership with Seattle Public Schools in Fall 2021. This cohort is a continuation of the ARE Pathway that begins at Seattle Central College.
