Second Microsoft IT Showcase School at Bellvue

Microsoft designated Bellevue Community College (BCC) the second Microsoft IT Showcase School in the nation. The IT Showcase School program seeks to recognize those institutions of higher learning that have demonstrated leadership in information technology (IT) education and teaching and help them share that knowledge and experience broadly.

They reveal that BCC has a strong history of collaboration with Microsoft, including premier membership status in the Microsoft IT Academy Program, is the largest provider of Microsoft training and education among Washington state’s 34 community and technical colleges and was the first college in the nation to deliver Microsoft .NET programming training for incumbent workers and operates one of the highest-volume testing centers for Microsoft certifications in the U.S.

Earlier the University of Massachusetts Amherst was selected in October 2005 as the first national Microsoft IT Showcase School for its strong Information Technology Program.
