Olympic College (OC) is in a period of change. With a dynamic leadership team, membership in Achieving the Dream, and a redoubled focus on closing opportunity gaps, the College is seeking an experienced higher education leader with a proven record of ongoing impactful change for the success of a diverse student body and community.
Olympic College is recognized as one of the top community colleges in the nation. In 2017, OC received the Outstanding College/Corporate Partnership Award from the American Association of Community Colleges in recognition of its apprenticeship program with Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility. Olympic College was an Aspen Prize top ten finalist in 2015, the preeminent national recognition for community and technical colleges.
In 2018, OC joined Achieving the Dream (ATD), a national network of nearly 300 community colleges. As an ATD network institution, OC is committed to increasing graduation rates and closing racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and other opportunity gaps.
Founded in 1946, Olympic College serves nearly 9,000 students annually across campuses in Bremerton, Poulsbo, and Shelton. We offer numerous pathways so that students can achieve their educational goals, including professional-technical certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees. OC also partners with institutions such as Washington State University, Western Washington University, and others to enable students to obtain bachelor’s degrees without leaving Kitsap County.
With the second largest military-connected population of any college or university in Washington, OC is proud to offer innovative programs and services like the Military and Veteran Support Center, where students receive wrap-around services under one roof.
