The Bridges Program is for students who plan to start their education at Columbia Basin College (CBC) or Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) and finish at Washington State University Tri-Cities (ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡). This program is intended for students who have earned less than 45 quarter credits in community college with a 2.5 or higher cumulative GPA.

Students must be in the process of completing one of the following degrees: AAOT, ASOT/BUS or ASOT/CS.

Admission to ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ and Degree Programs

My pathway through BMCC and ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ was the perfect fit for me. It allowed me to accomplish my personal and professional goals in the most timely and affordable way possible. Both institutions set me up for success in my career. I hope others take advantage of this incredible opportunity and enjoy it as much as I did.
