From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Cogswell College was an institution of higher learning located in Kirkland and Everett, Washington between 1979 and 2006. The college offered bachelor's degrees in business administration, computer science, digital arts, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechanical engineering technology, and professional management. It was named after temperance movement crusader Henry D. Cogswell.

Henry Cogswell College was founded in 1979 in Kirkland, Washington as Cogswell College North (at the time, an affiliate of Cogswell College in Sunnyvale, California), largely to provide engineering education to local Boeing employees. The school moved to Everett near one of Boeing's largest plants in 1996. Then for a short time after the move, some classes were also held at a Boeing facility in south Puget Sound (about 30 miles from Everett) to accommodate currently-enrolled students living in that area. The institution closed in August, 2006 due to "financial crisis." The school provided distance learning to veterans and was a self-proclaimed "veteran friendly institution", with many active military personnel from nearby installations attending classes. The partnership with Boeing also included many National Guard and reserve, former and retired military personnel employed by Boeing who attended Cogswell courses.
