Best Answer

Santa Rosa Junior College is one of the top ranked community colleges in the nation, let alone the state. Your question is vague--are you asking which CC has the highest number of students who transfer to a 4 yr. school, or which one has the highest percentage, or which one has the toughest academic standards? A tougher school will have more drop-outs, because the students can't cut it. Look at which school has the best program in whatever you want to major in.

Question: I’m looking for a college in ether California or Colorado with a good radiology technician program.?

I have one more year of high school and I am looking for a good college in either Colorado or California at this point I don’t care which one as long as it is a good college I would prefer it to be a campus not an internet because I’m also want to get my bachelors while I’m at it.

Santa Rosa Junior College (www.santarosa.edu) has one of the best Rad Tech programs in the State, in my opinion. I attended the school for a couple years, and worked with some of the Rad Tech instructors through Work Study. It is a 2 year program, which has a year school, Sonoma State University, 20 minutes away. Check them out. They have a new building that is dedicated to the Health Sciences department, in which they have a fully functional health clinic, dental clinic, and xray facilities.
