Description

Natural and architectural beauty, state-of-the art classrooms, impressive arts and science centers and an extensive range of academic offerings summarize the Santa Rosa Junior College experience.

Located in Santa Rosa, California, Santa Rosa Junior is regarded as one of the most beautiful community college campuses in the state of California with its ivy-lined brick buildings and colorful gardens.

Santa Rosa’s environment also boasts a planetarium, a well-respected summer repertory theatre, an art gallery and a museum, all of which are well-attended by the public.

Academically, Santa Rosa’s offerings run the gamut. Certificate programs are offered in fields that are highly marketable throughout the region.

These include Wine Studies, Parks and Recreation Management, Agriculture and Culinary Arts. They also offer certificates in fields that are in-demand everywhere, including Medical Assisting, Pharmacy Tech and computer-related studies and programs.

Associate’s degrees are offered in a wide range of programs leading to employment or to a Cal State, UC or private university transfer.

Santa Rosa also has a division of career and technical education which provides non-degree workforce training and development as well as online programs. Online degrees are offered in everything from Humanities to Psychology, Real Estate, Accounting or Computer Studies.

Another one of Santa Rosa’s numerous offerings is its study abroad option. While usually only seen at four-year schools, the study abroad program allows students to study in such places as Europe or Mexico for a semester while still receiving Santa Rosa credit.

Santa Rosa’s support services include everything from highly impressive financial aid offerings for eligible students, career and transfer counseling, tutoring and peer mentoring. Many of these services are also offered online.

Santa Rosa’s students may also benefit from the offerings at Santa Rosa’s other campuses and centers. A public safety training center, a culinary arts center and a technology academy in Petaluma are just some examples of these.
