Degree Partnership Program

EVERETT IS COUGAR COUNTRY.

About the Degree Partnership Program

The Degree Partnership Program (DPP) promotes educational attainment and bachelor’s degree completion by allowing students to be jointly admitted and concurrently enrolled at Washington State University Everett and Everett Community College. Students can complete a single admission application for both institutions and may combine credits for financial aid eligibility. They gain flexibility in completing a degree with access to on-site classes at EvCC and WSU Everett.

The DPP will launch in Fall 2023 with the Business Administration and Hospitality Business Management programs. Both institutions’ faculty and student services are developing additional DPP curriculum pathways for cybersecurity, communication, data analytics, and engineering.

Applications open Friday, March 24!
