The application for the Spring 2025 Data Analytics cohort will open on October 31st. The applications for the Fall cohorts for Business Intelligence, Data Analytics and Data Engineering will open in January 2025.
This is a selective admissions program. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission, as the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of available seats in the program. It is strongly encouraged that students meet with the program manager prior to filling out the BAS application to make sure they qualify.

How to Apply
Current and previous Bellevue College students who have no transfer credits may skip Steps 1 and 2.

Apply for General Admission
First time Bellevue College students must apply for General Admission prior to filling out the BAS Accounting application. Processing time for general admissions is typically 1-3 business days.

Complete the Evaluation of Transfer Credit Form
Prospective students will need to submit Official Transcripts from any other regionally accredited colleges they have attended.
Your application will be reviewed with unofficial transcripts, but your acceptance will not be determined until official transcripts have been received and evaluated.

Take Placement Tests
Technology and math coursework will be applied toward admission requirements if taken and completed within the last five years with a passing grade. For technology coursework older than five years, please contact the program manager for review. For math coursework older than five years, students can take the math placement test. The credits will be counted if they place above the required course level. Other coursework (i.e. English, humanities, science) can be applied regardless of completion date.

Complete and Submit the Application
Application payment will be accepted at the time of completion. Please have your form of payment ready prior to beginning the application. The application fee for BAS programs is $50. Unofficial transcripts from all regionally accredited colleges attended demonstrating completion of the prerequisite courses, if not already on file with Bellevue College.
Processing Times
- Application Received Email – Students can expect to receive an email two weeks after their application is submitted notifying them of any remaining prerequisites to be completed prior to admission.
- Admissions Letters – Admission decisions will likely be communicated before the registration date and no later than 15 days after the priority deadline. When received, please fill out your acceptance letter in a timely manner to save your seat. We understand that circumstances can change. If at any point in time you no longer plan to pursue this degree, please let us know so that we can update your application status.
To check the status on processing requests for admissions, prerequisite checks, and/or transferring credits to Bellevue College (BC), students should refer to the Student Central Processing Dashboard.
What’s Next?
Students can be admitted into the program if they have completed most of the prerequisites. Any remaining prerequisites can be fulfilled during their first year in the program.
If you provide a copy of your unofficial transcript(s), the program manager can create an educational plan mapping out all of the classes you will need to take each quarter. Typically, the program takes two years to complete if you take three classes per quarter and three years if you take two classes per quarter. Work with your program manager if you need to adjust your workload.
