The BAS-Behavioral Health program is delivered in partnership between Big Bend Community College and Wenatchee Valley College. Students are co-enrolled in courses at both colleges, and receive advising, support services, and financial aid from their home college.

Courses will be taught in a hybrid format so that students will meet "live" three times a quarter while the remaining coursework will take place online. Faculty will use web-enhanced technology, combined with individualized attention, to focused learning and unique opportunities to partner with underserved and key populations in North Central Washington.
The BAS Behavioral Health degree includes courses in: Human Services, Cultural and Social Issues in Behavioral Healthcare, Case Management, Therapeutic Skills, and Treatment of Mental Health Disorders. In their senior year, students complete a three-quarter field experience with a local behavioral health clinic.
The BAS-Behavioral Health degree builds upon any associate degree by providing junior and senior-level courses focused on behavioral health. Students graduating from associate degree programs in criminal justice, early childhood education, medical assistance, and chemical dependency studies are encouraged to apply.
