Butte College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Butte College is a community college located in northern California between the towns of Chico and Oroville. Butte College is a fully accredited two-year institution with educational facilities in Chico and Orland, and classes offered in most of the District’s communities. The College also offers online courses.

In 1966, Butte County voters created a local community college district to serve the educational and vocational needs of citizens. In 1967, Butte College began by offering law enforcement, fire science, and vocational nursing classes in various locations throughout Butte County. When the College officially opened its doors to the community in 1968 at the old Durham High School site, it was predicted that 800 students would attend that first fall quarter. But to the surprise of all, over 1900 people enrolled at the new college. In 1974, the College moved from Durham to its present location near the geographic center of Butte County, and in 1975, Glenn County joined the District.

Butte College’s history is one of unprecedented growth. This growth stems from offering quality affordable educational courses ranging from basic skills to transfer courses to honors classes, and more than 50 diverse career education programs. Also significant to this growth is a faculty, staff, and administration focused on creating and fostering a culture of student-centered support and success.

At 928 acres, Butte College is the largest community college campus in the state, and it is the only campus designated a wildlife refuge .

Long an advocate of sustainability, Butte College is one of two community colleges in the state to offer bus transportation to students. In addition to having its own water and sewage treatment facilities, 25% of the College’s electric power comes from its new solar field.
