About Shasta College...
Shasta College extends its
educational, culture, and recreational facilities and services to all
people in Shasta, Tehama, and Trinity Counties, including parts of
Lassen, Modoc, and Humboldt Counties, an area that is more than 10,000
square miles, which is larger than the State of Massachusetts. An
eight-member Board of Trustees represents the Shasta-Tehama-Trinity
Community College District.
Because of the diversified goals
and needs of its students, Shasta College offers a wide range of
programs and services, including counseling, tutoring, student
activities, veteran affairs, cultural events, lecture series, workshops,
and art exhibits. Shasta College has an extensive Distance
Learning network. The Tehama County Center, located at Red Bluff,
and continuing education center at Weaverville and Burney utilize
interactive television and computer-assisted learning to supplement
on-site extended education.
Shasta College is fully accredited
by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and is listed as a
public community college in the approved list of the Education
Directory, Higher Education Part 3, published by the U.S. Office
of Education. Shasta College was founded in 1948 as part of the
Shasta High School District. After opening its doors on Eureka Way
in Fall 1950 with 256 day students, it grew so rapidly that in 1964,
voters approved a bond issue for construction of a 336 acre campus at
the college's present location. Fall 2000 was the 50th Anniversary
of Shasta College, serving the north state with pride and distinction.
Shasta College serves Shasta,
Tehama and Trinity Counties as a comprehensive community college
offering programs in a broad range of fields of study to prepare you for
the 21st century.
We at Shasta College pride
ourselves on our dedication to students as our first priority. You
will have the opportunity to have your own personalized education and
career plan. Whether your goal is employment upon graduation or
transfer to a four-year university, you will know how, at each step, to
best steer your own pathway to success.
A decision to enroll at Shasta
College is a wise investment of your time, talent and resources.
Thousands of successful graduates throughout Northern California and the
nation attest to their pride in being part of the Shasta College family.
We welcome you to that tradition and to a wide new world of opportunity
made possible through higher education.
