Edmonds College is the new name as school drops 'Community'
LYNNWOOD — Edmonds Community College dropped a word from its name Monday, becoming Edmonds College. The change reflects a trend seen around the region.
The new name was approved by the Lynnwood-based institution’s Board of Trustees during a Monday meeting, with Edmonds College in place immediately.
“As Edmonds College, we remain committed to serving our community as an open-access institution, and that will stay central to our mission,” said Edmonds College President Amit Singh in a statement released Monday. “Our new name reflects our comprehensive offerings — from pre-college to an increasing number of four-year Bachelor of Applied Science degrees.”
Edmonds College now offers one bachelor of applied science degree in Child, Youth, and Family Studies and will launch a second in Information Technology–Application Development this fall.
