Accessed 2010-06-28.〕 The college has been called one of the nation's most diverse colleges.

Accessed 2011-08-06.〕 as well as numerous students taking ESL courses through the Basic and Transitional Studies division.〔Seattle Central College,(Basic and Transitional Studies ). Accessed 2010-06-28.〕 Seattle Central College's administration incorporates the Wood Construction Center and Seattle Maritime Academy, which are on separate campuses in order to house the very specific tools and workspaces needed. ==History== Seattle Central's origins can be traced to 1902, with the opening of Broadway High School. It operated as a traditional high school until the end of World War II, when it was converted to a vocational and adult education institution for the benefit of veterans who wanted to finish high school. As a result, in 1946, its high school students were all transferred to Lincoln High School, and the Edison Technical School (which already shared a campus with Broadway High) was expanded to fill the entire facility.〔Paul Dorpat, (Broadway High School, Seattle's first dedicated high school, opens in 1902 ), HistoryLink, 2001-04-15. Accessed 2009-05-25.〕 Edison started offering college-level courses when it was reconstituted as ''Seattle Community College'' in September 1966. North Seattle Community College and South Seattle Community College opened their doors in 1970, whereupon Seattle Community College was renamed ''Seattle Central Community College''.〔Seattle Central Community College,(Our History ). Accessed 2010-06-28.〕 In March 2014, the Seattle Community Colleges District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to change the name of the District to Seattle Colleges and to change the names of the colleges to ''Seattle Central College'', ''North Seattle College'' and ''South Seattle College''.〔Julie Muhlstein, (Two-year colleges trending away from 'community' name ), HeraldNet (''Everett Herald'', Everett, Washington), March 21, 2014. Accessed online 2014-05-14.〕 The decision followed similar decisions by nine other Washington state community colleges that had recently started to offer baccalaureate degrees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seattle Central College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
