On behalf of the faculty, staff and Board of Trustees, I welcome you to Lake Washington Institute of Technology.

For over 60 years LWIT has been changing lives and helping our graduates and their families achieve a brighter future. We provide affordable professional and technical training in a hands-on learning environment with instructors who have worked in the subjects they teach. Advisers are here to help guide you in selecting the right pathway and our outstanding faculty and supportive staff is committed to helping you to succeed.

We are focused on success at all levels. Whether you come to us looking to change careers; keep abreast of changing technologies; learn English or brush up on math skills; graduate high school; prepare to transfer to a university or simply take a class for fun, LWIT provides a pathway to help you reach your educational goals.

These are exciting times at LWIT. Our first graduates in the Bachelor of Technology in Applied Design (BTAD) program were awarded their diplomas in June and, with the signing of Senate Bill 5664 in April, Lake Washington Technical College officially became Lake Washington Institute of Technology on July 24, 2011.

When fall quarter classes start, the doors will open on our new 83,000 square foot Allied Health building. This state-of-the-art facility on our Kirkland campus will be home to career training programs in Nursing, Dental, Physical Therapist Assistant, Occupational Therapy Assistant, as well as Washington States first Funeral Service Education program. Also a first in the state, a new Washington Network for Innovative Careers (WaNIC) high school skills center will be co-located in this 3-story, energy efficient facility.

As a member of the Five Star Consortium, we are working with Cascadia, Edmonds, Everett, and Shoreline Community Colleges to streamline and standardize operations, making it easier for students to move between our schools.

Since 1949 LWITs goal has been: to help you succeed on your chosen path by providing affordable professional and technical training that prepares you for todays careers and tomorrows opportunities.

We invite you to explore all we have to offer and look forward to welcoming you into the Lake Washington Institute of Technology family!

Selecting a Program of Study

STARTING A NEW CAREERDeciding which career is best for you can be a very difficult decision. LWITs professional advisers and counselors are available to help you match your interests and abilities with the career that fits you best. The first step in starting your new career decision process is to take a self-inventory of what is most important to you. Below are some of the major things you need to consider:

YOUR INTERESTSYour interests play an important role in career selection. When you enjoy what you do, you increase your chances for success because you find your work satisfying and fulfilling.

YOUR SKILLS AND ABILITIESIdentify what you are good at and then talk to others about your strengths. Your skills and abilities are the key to knowing yourself better and making a positive career decision. When you enter a program that features your strengths, class work will be easier for you.

YOUR WORK STYLEThink about the kind of work structure and the kind of environment you want to work in. Consider the amount of responsibility you want and the amount of stress you can handle. These personal characteristics affect your career success. Think about whether you prefer to work alone or with others, be your own boss, work outdoors, work in a large company or a small business, or interact with the public.

YOUR VALUESYou make all kinds of personal value decisionswhere to live, what to do for entertainment, what kind of clothes to wear or food to eat. Think about these choices and by assessing them, you will help identify the priorities in your life.

YOUR LIFESTYLEThe kind of career you choose can influence the kind of life you live. For example, some health care workers often work weekends, but they find the work rewarding and good for their self-esteem because it fulfills a personal value.

Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP

PRE-NURSINGDTA/MRPASSOCIATEOFAPPLIEDSCIENCEDEGREE92CREDITSThis pathway offers a broad selection of academic courses which prepare students for upper division coursework leading to the Bachelor of Science, Nursing degree (Entry-to-practice/basic BSN). Pre-nursing graduates are prepared to apply to BSN programs at various institutions across Washington state including the following baccalaureate institutions offering an entry-to-practice/basic BSN program and the community and technical colleges system: University of Washington, Seattle; Washington State University; Northwest University; Seattle University; Seattle Pacific University; Pacific Lutheran University; Walla Walla College, and the Washington State University Intercol-legiate College of Nursing (WSU-ICN), a consortium whose members include Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga, and Whitworth. Associate degree transfers to WSU-ICN are admitted through WSU, not through the other consortium institutions. EWU participated in the development of this agreement.

Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP graduates will:

use the scientific method to analyze natural phenomena and acquire skills to evaluate authenticity of data/information relative to the natural world describe organic compounds and metabolism as they apply to the human body perform literature reviews and identify and locate appropriate resources to answer questions about the human body and its pathologies apply A&P principles to clinical human physiology and pathophysiology describe and explain the principle of homeostasis as it applies to the human body describe the importance of diet on the body and health demonstrate critical thinking, intercultural appreciation, information and technical literacy, communication, and teamwork meet Social Science, Humanities, Written Communication, and Quantitative Reasoning distribution area outcomes

Lake Washington Institute of Technology does not offer every course each quarter. It is the students responsibility to discuss sequencing and work out their individual schedule with a counselor or adviser. Any developmental coursework a student may be required to complete may increase the program length.
