Delta College - University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Delta College is a two-year community college located southwest of Bay City, Michigan in Bay County's Frankenlust Township. Delta College's district had its beginning in 1955 with Saginaw, Midland, and Bay counties making up the district. In 1957, the voters of the tri-counties approved the construction of the college, and it opened for classes in 1961. Delta College replaced Bay City Junior College, established in 1922, because the junior college could no longer support the growing enrollment. With Saginaw Valley College established in 1964, later renamed Saginaw Valley State College in 1975, and later renamed Saginaw Valley State University in 1987, both Delta College and Saginaw Valley State University form University Center, Michigan.

Athletics

Delta College has five varsity sports competing in the NJCAA, and is in the MCCAA's Eastern conference. These sports are women's volleyball, basketball, and softball. The men's varsity sports are soccer and basketball. They have two national championships in varsity play, with the men's basketball team winning in 1989 and the softball team winning in 1999.

The school also has two club sports, which are hockey and dodgeball.

Delta College is a responsive, dynamic community college. We educate, inspire, challenge and support a diverse community of learners to achieve academic, professional and personal excellence. Delta College has continued, without interruption, the educational opportunities that were previously provided by Bay City Junior College. In the mid-1950's, as the demand for education beyond high school increased in the tri-county area, the percentage of students attending Bay City Junior College from outside the K-12 Bay City Public School District steadily increased. The enrollment was approximately 50 percent non-resident, with about 40 percent of the enrollment coming from Saginaw. Early in 1955, seven community leaders from Bay, Midland and Saginaw met to discuss the possibility of a tri-county college.
