What We Offer

If you are ready to learn, we offer a starting point that is right for you. Do you want to earn a short-term certificate to get a job in a specific field? Are you looking to earn an associate degree to transfer? Or do you want to earn a high school diploma while earning college credit? We offer all of that and more, including applied bachelor’s degrees.

Learn skills for a new or current job

If your goal is to get a job right after graduation in a specific field or build professional skills for your current job, begin by earning a certificate or an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. Explore everything we have to offer within our Degree Pathways.

Earn college credits for transferring

If your goal is to transfer to a regional or state college or university, begin by earning an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree at Highline. Washington students have statewide transfer agreements that allow them to earn the first 90 credits at a community college and transfer those credits to public—and most private—colleges and universities in the state. Check with an adviser and the intended transfer institution about other transfer options. Visit Highline’s Transfer Center for helpful resources and information.

The Honors Program is another valuable resource and offers students who take Honors Seminar personalized coaching in the college transfer process.

Earn a bachelor’s degree

You can earn applied bachelor’s degrees in seven programs: Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics, Applied Management, Respiratory Care, Youth Development, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education and Integrated Design.
