(400,000 m2) campus includes a planetarium, gymnasium, fitness center, art gallery, library, cafeteria, coffee shops, theater, and a variety of common areas. North Campus In 2011, BC's Continuing Education division moved from a former Microsoft building it had occupied since 2001 into 62,000 square foot building on a two-acre property along the Highway 520 corridor in north Bellevue. East Campus BC purchased 20 acres (81,000 m2) of land in 2010 in the Issaquah Highlands development in the city of Issaquah, Washington which currently remains undeveloped. Academics Bellevue College's instructional programs are structured into five major divisions: Arts and Humanities; Health Sciences, Education and Wellness Institute; Institute for Business and Information Technology; Science; and Social Science. Expansion of four-year degree programs In 2005, the Washington State Legislature authorized a limited pilot program that allowed community and technical colleges, which historically have granted only certificates and two-year associate degrees, to offer four-year bachelor's degrees. The major impetus for this legislation were studies concluding that Washington state needed to produce more graduates with bachelor's degrees to meet the needs of the growing economy, both now and in the future. Proponents of the pilot program cited several reasons: many community college students are place-bound and cannot move elsewhere to attend a university; many of the state's residents live in areas without access to universities; particular programs may not be offered at nearby universities; increased competition for fewer slots at universities were shutting out many students, and some career-oriented bachelor programs were not offered anywhere in the state. Bellevue College was one of four schools – along with South Seattle Community College, Peninsula College and Olympic College – chosen to participate in the pilot program. The bachelor's degrees were to be "applied" in nature, meaning they would be directed at people already working in specialized fields and who want to advance their careers. In order to participate, colleges had to demonstrate the following: sufficient student and employer demand; similar degrees were not offered elsewhere; the college had the expertise to offer the degree, and an independent accrediting agency had to approve the degree. In 2007, Bellevue College began enrolling students in its first four-year program, a Bachelor of Applied Science in Radiation and Imaging Sciences, currently, the only degree of its kind offered in the state. In 2009, BC proposed legislation that would have allowed it to award a range of Bachelor of Arts or
