How is CEO different than High School?
CEO is very different than High School. The program provides students with a second chance at their education in a college environment. Both attendance and behavioral expectations are high. We expect our students to be mature and motivated.
Will I get my high school diploma or GED while I’m enrolled in CEO?
No. CEO is designed to provide students with an opportunity to work towards a college certificate or AA transfer degree from Bellevue College in a select professional-technical program. However, if you do receive an AA degree you may apply for your high school diploma at the age of 21. Students who wish to complete the GED may enroll in the GED program at the college, but need to understand it is not a part of the CEO program.
What can I get my degree or certificate in while enrolled in CEO?
CEO students work towards certificates or degrees in one of the many professional-technical programs offered at BC. These degrees are designed to prepare you to enter the workforce. Check out the options!
How do I re-enter the CEO program?
If you are a CEO student who left the CEO program or were dismissed for more than 1 quarter please contact Paul Whiteman at paul.whiteman@bellevuecollege.edu in order to begin the reentry process. You may also call 425. 564. 4034 to schedule an appointment.
