Degree and Certificate Programs
Sierra College offers both Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees, as well as Certificates of Achievement and Skills Certificates. Fifty-six degrees in twenty-six programs are offered in the Career & Technical Education portion of Sierra College. Fifty-six certificates are offered (18 units minimum) and ten Skills certificates (less than 18 units).
Retraining and Updating of Skills
Short-term training is provided for working professionals needing to update skills in the rapidly changing workplace. This training is offered either through individual classes, industry-based training or through Certificates of Achievement or Skills Certificates. Sierra can quickly re-train or update workers in a relatively short amount of time, often through evening or Saturday classes.
Lifelong Learners
Many of our courses include students who are attending for enrichment purposes: pursuing a dream, hobby or vocation. We welcome learners at all levels, with all types of goals and reasons for attending. Classes taken credit/no credit can relieve the stress of the grading process. Our faculty members are also lifelong learners and greatly appreciate those who are pursuing something for the love of it, as they have in their own careers.
Career Preparation
Career & Technical Education programs prepare students for entry into the workforce in their specific fields. Students finish their programs here at Sierra with a wide range of knowledge: theoretical, hands-on, applied and experiential. Many of our students have had direct experience in their field either through previous work history or through our extensive Internship Program. Our Advisory Boards and faculty constantly reassess and adjust their classes to identify and teach the essential skills and knowledge demanded by each of these industries.
