Each year Delta provides over 150 different degrees, certificate programs, and transfer pathways for every kind of student. Spanning 72 fields of study — with special distinctions in STEM and the arts — we offer associate degrees, certificates of achievement, workforce training, and continuing education courses.
Our classes meet the same academic benchmarks of equivalent courses at four-year universities in California— at a fraction of the price. Per unit, you can expect to spend a quarter of what you would pay at a CSU and $10,000 less than a UC.
And, if you wish to transfer to a four-year university after taking affordable lower-division courses at Delta, you’ll find that you can complete your Bachelor’s degree in less time while saving thousands of dollars in the process.
We understand that education and life are not mutually exclusive. Delta offers day, night and online classes for students who work, care for their family or have other life-altering responsibilities. Paired with the $200,000 in scholarships we give out each year, Delta is providing larger numbers of students access to the education they deserve.
Delta College has been named one of the top 150 community colleges in the nation by the Aspen Institute. Known for our accomplished faculty, innovative teaching, and high retention, graduation and transfer rates, Delta has established itself as a model of excellence in California at the community college level.
We believe that a friendly environment and innovative resources are essential to higher learning. Our state-of-the-art facilities — including the new Math and Science Building, Goleman Library, Electron Microscopy Lab, Atherton Auditorium and Tillie Lewis Theatre — are key parts of students’ day-to-day lives.
