Historically Black Colleges and Universities

Many Historically Black Colleges and Universities are thousands of miles away, making it difficult to visit their campuses. Delta College brings them to Stockton so that you can meet directly with representatives and learn if an HBCU makes sense for you.

Classes That Count

We work hard to make sure your classes line up smoothly with CSU and UC requirements. That means the courses you take here are carefully aligned so your credits transfer and count when you move on to a four-year university. Learn more about how "articulation" works.
