Sierra College
The Nevada County Campus is a
resource for the entire community. Some
students will go on to four-year institutions,
others will earn degrees or certificates
offered by the college. There are also a
variety of non-credit enrichment courses
that attract students of all ages, as well as
an early college program.
Some 19 associate degrees can be
earned on the campus, and others are
earned by adding just a few online courses
or attending a couple of classes on the college’s main campus in nearby Rocklin.
In addition to degrees, certificates are
offered in a variety of fields, and are
designed to help students get their first job
or upgrade job skills. The college works
closely with local businesses to help develop and guide this program.
