Santa Rosa Junior College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Santa Rosa Junior College ("SRJC") is a community college located in the city of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, California. Founded in 1918, it is the tenth oldest community college in the state. Santa Rosa Junior College was modeled as a "junior" version of nearby University of California at Berkeley. It was intended to be a feeder school for the U.C. system, and still is to this day, with a special program designed for the direct transfer of students to various campuses in the U.C. system upon the completion of certain prerequisites.

Campus

SRJC has a beautiful and traditional-style 100+ acre campus with ivy-covered brick buildings on a backdrop of rolling green lawns, dotted with ancient oak trees and redwoods in Santa Rosa, and a 40 acre campus in Petaluma. It also has a Public Safety Training Center in Windsor, and a self-supporting farm near Forestville, a Culinary Arts Center in downtown Santa Rosa, and a Technology Academy on the Petaluma Campus. It has a remarkable number of accomplished professors for a community college, and is consistently ranked as one of the top community colleges in the nation. The school is also blessed with an unusually large grant and scholarship system that is the legacy of the Doyle family, resulting in one of the largest trusts for any community college in the nation.

Frank P. Doyle Library

In August of 2006, SRJC moved its Santa Rosa campus library to the new Frank P. Doyle Library building. Named after the college's most significant benefactor, the four-story building is the largest on campus at 145,000 total square feet. It houses the Library, Media Services, and Academic Computing Departments, as well as the College art gallery, tutorial center and Center for New Media, a multimedia production facility for SRJC faculty.

The library is a technologically advanced structure that incorporates numerous green building features designed to make it energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Wireless Internet access is available throughout the building. Approximately 4,000 users per day enter the Frank P. Doyle Library.

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.
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.
