The current campus in Des Moines was built in 1964 with additional buildings added in following years to meet student and technology needs. The school was known as Highline College until 1967 when the Washington State Legislature passed the Community College Act of 1967, and the name became Highline Community College. In June 2014, Highline's board of trustees voted to change the name back to Highline College.[7] Starting in the fall of 2014, Highline was approved to offer four Bachelor of Applied Science degree programs.[8] Classes are also offered at the Marine Science and Technology (MaST) Center at Redondo Beach and additional service-area locations such as Burien and White Center.[9] DemographicsThe demographics of Highline are diverse due to both the local population and the acceptance of international students. {{as of|2015}}, 26% of all students are categorized as White, 20% are Asian/Pacific Islander, 17% African American, 19% Hispanic/Latino, and 1% Native American. The total number credit and non-credit students is 16,917, while 65% of those are credit students. The student body is 59% female and 41% male.[10] AccreditationHighline has several nationally accredited programs of study. The college itself is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The Nursing program is accredited by National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission. The Respiratory Care program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care and the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. The Medical Assistant program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs and the Curriculum Review Board of the American Association of Medical Assistants Endowment. The Paralegal program is also approved by the American Bar Association.[11] FoundationThe Highline College Foundation was established in 1972 as a non-profit organization to help raise funds to improve the quality of education at Highline College.[12][12] The Foundation often holds events and allows donations to be made in an effort to raise funds. With a donation of $500 the Foundation allows individuals or groups to create their own fund that others may donate to. Both students and faculty members can take advantage of the Foundation, through scholarships and grants respectively.
