CLUSTER
  Title: Accounting
  Programs in cluster: 3

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Accounting (AS Degree):
      You can complete most of your Accounting required courses online, which gives you flexibility to study from anywhere with internet access. You'll need to combine online with occasional courses at Main Campus or the Chico Center to cover all your major requirements. Your general education can be finished at any of our locations or online, so you have options for fitting that around your schedule.
  • Accounting (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all the required coursework for this certificate online, so you have full flexibility in where you take your major courses. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus or the Chico Center with online sections, since neither location on its own covers all the required courses. A counselor can help you map out a schedule that works best for your situation.
  • Professional Accountant (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to combine Online with either the Chico Center or Main Campus to complete all your required courses for this certificate, since no single location offers reliable coverage of everything you need. Online has the strongest course availability for this program, so starting there and filling in gaps at the Chico Center or Main Campus as needed is a solid approach. Check with a counselor to map out which courses you'll take where, since your path will depend on the specific terms you're planning to attend.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences that summarize the AVAILABILITY STORY shared by these programs. Most programs in a cluster will have similar availability — name the common pattern. Note distinct outliers ONLY if a program's availability story differs in a way that affects student decisions (e.g., one program is online-only, others are not).

  - Plain, student-facing language.
  - Refer to "the programs in this cluster" or "these programs" — don't list each program by name unless an outlier needs calling out.
  - If all programs share the same flexibility story, write one unified statement.
  - Do NOT list percentages, term codes, or jargon.
  - Lead with the most flexible/strongest availability and follow with caveats.
  - Refer to locations ONLY by official center names (Main Campus, Chico Center, Glenn Center, Skyway Center, Cosmetology Center, Online). NEVER use a city or town name — no Oroville, no Willows, and never "Chico" as a city. Write "at the Chico Center", never "in Chico" — even if a per-program statement below used a city name, do not repeat it.

OUTPUT
  Return ONLY the statement text. No preamble, no quotation marks, no markdown.

CLUSTER
  Title: Business Administration and Management
  Programs in cluster: 5

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Business Administration 2.0 (AS-T Degree):
      You can complete most of your Business Administration requirements at the Chico Center or Online, but you'll need to supplement with courses at Main Campus or another location to cover all your required slots. Since no single location has everything you need, plan to combine locations or work with a counselor to build a schedule that fits your situation.
  • Business Administration (AS Degree):
      You can complete all your required coursework for the Business Administration AS degree at either Main Campus, the Chico Center, or Online — all three locations have reliable coverage of the courses you need. Choose whichever location works best for your schedule and situation, and you'll have everything available to you there.
  • Business Management (AS Degree):
      You'll need to combine Online with either the Chico Center or Main Campus to complete your Business Management degree, since no single location reliably offers all the required courses. Online covers most of what you need, so you could do the majority of your coursework there and pick up the remaining required courses at whichever of those two centers works best with your schedule.
  • Business Management (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete most of your Business Management required coursework online or at Main Campus, though you'll need to combine whichever location you choose with the other to cover all requirements. If you prefer to study in person, Main Campus offers the most reliable coverage of your major courses, but plan to take some courses online or arrange them at another center for the gaps.
  • Retail Management (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all the required courses for this certificate online, which gives you full flexibility in where you study. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus or the Chico Center with online sections, since neither location reliably offers the full sequence on its own. Either way, meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that works for your situation.

CLUSTER
  Title: Marketing
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Marketing (AS Degree):
      You'll need to combine Online with either Main Campus or the Chico Center to complete all your required major courses—Online has strong coverage, but not quite complete on its own. Your general education requirements can be done at any of our locations or online, so you have flexibility there, but for the major coursework you're looking at splitting your time between Online and one of those two in-person centers.
  • Marketing (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all of your required Marketing coursework online, so you have flexibility in where you're physically located. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus or the Chico Center with online sections to cover all your requirements. Either way, your general education can be completed at any of our centers or online.

WHAT TO WRITE

  Title: Real Estate
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Real Estate (AS Degree):
      You can complete most of your Real Estate major coursework online, which gives you flexibility to study from anywhere with internet access. However, you'll need to plan for at least some in-person attendance at Main Campus or the Chico Center to cover the few required courses that aren't reliably available online. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that works for your situation.
  • Real Estate (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete most of your required Real Estate coursework online, which gives you flexibility to study from anywhere with internet access. A few required courses don't have reliable online sections, so you'll need to combine online with in-person classes at the Chico Center or Main Campus to fill those gaps. Meeting with an advisor to map out your specific term-by-term plan will help you find the schedule that works best for you.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences that summarize the AVAILABILITY STORY shared by these programs. Most programs in a cluster will have similar availability — name the common pattern.

CLUSTER
  Title: Business, Legal and Medical Office Administration
  Programs in cluster: 6

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Business Information Worker (AS Degree):
      You can complete all required coursework for the Business Information Worker degree online, so you have full flexibility in where you're physically located. If you prefer to attend in person, Main Campus offers some required courses but not all of them, so you'd need to combine it with online sections or another location to finish the major. Either way, your general education requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online, giving you additional scheduling options.
  • Business Information Worker (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all required courses for this certificate online, so you have the flexibility to study from wherever you have internet access. If you prefer to attend in person, Main Campus offers some of the required courses, though you'd likely need to combine it with online sections to finish your major coursework. Either way, your general education requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online.
  • Legal Office Administration (AS Degree):
      You can complete all the required coursework for the Legal Office Administration degree online, so you have flexibility in where you're physically located. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus or the Chico Center with online sections, since neither location on its own offers all the required courses reliably. Either way, your GE breadth requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online.
  • Legal Office Administration (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all the required coursework for this certificate online, so you have the flexibility to study from anywhere with internet access. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus or the Chico Center with online courses, since neither location reliably offers the full sequence of required classes on its own. Either way, meet with a counselor to map out your specific schedule before you register.
  • Medical Office Administration (AS Degree):
      You'll need to combine Online with Main Campus to finish this degree—Online has strong coverage of the required courses, but you'll need to come to Main Campus for the remaining major courses that only run there. Your general education requirements can be completed at either location, so you have flexibility in how you mix them together.
  • Medical Office Administration (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all required courses for this certificate online, which gives you full flexibility on where you study. Alternatively, if you prefer to attend in person, Main Campus and the Chico Center each offer some of your required courses reliably, though you'd need to combine either location with online sections to cover everything. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that works best for your situation.

  Title: Entrepreneurship and Project Management
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Small Business/Entrepreneurship (AS Degree):
      You can complete all required courses for the Small Business/Entrepreneurship AS degree online, so you have the flexibility to study from anywhere with internet access. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus or the Chico Center with online sections, since neither location offers reliable coverage of all required courses on its own. Since your general education requirements can be completed at any Butte center or online, you have options for fitting those in around your major coursework.
  • Project Management (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all the required courses for this certificate online, so you have flexibility in where you study. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus or the Chico Center with online or another location, since neither center offers all the required courses on a reliable basis.

You are writing a brief, student-facing flexibility note for a Butte College program. Imagine you are a counselor sitting across from the student. The student is trying to decide WHERE they will physically have to be to finish this degree.

PROGRAM
  Title: Economics
  Award: AA-T Degree

LOCATIONS
  - Main Campus — Butte's main campus.
  - Chico Center — general center; many transfer-degree courses run there.
  - Glenn Center — satellite center.
  - Skyway Center — the dedicated home of the Auto Technology and
    Industrial / Power Pathway programs.
  - Cosmetology Center — the dedicated home of the Cosmetology and
    Barbering programs.
  - Online means a student can take it from anywhere with internet.
  - Dual Enrollment sections are taught at participating high schools
    across the region (NOT at Butte's centers). Coverage varies by HS.

LOCATION NAMING — HARD RULE
  Refer to locations ONLY by the official names exactly as listed above
  (Main Campus, Chico Center, Glenn Center, Skyway Center, Cosmetology
  Center, Online). NEVER mention a city or town name — no Oroville, no
  Willows, no Paradise, and never "Chico" as a city — not even
  alongside a center name. Students read a city name as the town
  itself, and Butte's campuses don't sit where the names suggest (Main
  Campus is not "in Oroville" in any practical sense). Write "at the
  Chico Center", never "in Chico". Write "at Main Campus", never "in
  Oroville".

RELIABLE REQUIRED-COURSE OFFERINGS BY LOCATION (last two academic years)
A required course counts as "reliably offered" at a location only if it
showed a REGULAR PATTERN — at least one section in BOTH window falls or
in BOTH window springs. A one-off section doesn't count: the student
can't bank on it coming back. For Select-N slots (e.g. "Select two"),
the slot is reliably satisfied at a location only when ≥N of its
options are reliably offered there.

  Main Campus:    Partial  (4 of 6 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Chico Center:   Partial  (3 of 6 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Glenn Center:   Partial  (1 of 6 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Online:         Partial  (2 of 6 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Dual Enrollment:       Partial  (1 of 6)  ← specialized center

WHAT EACH STATUS MEANS
  - "Yes"     — every required slot has reliable coverage at this location. A student can plan to take their major coursework here.
  - "Partial" — SOME required slots are reliably covered here, but not all. A student who wants to attend mostly at this location will have to combine it with another location or with Online for the gaps.
  - "GE only" — NO required slots are reliably covered here. The student can complete GE breadth here, but for the major's required courses they'll have to go elsewhere.

GROUND TRUTHS YOU MUST RESPECT
  - For Associate degrees, GE breadth requirements can be completed at ANY Butte center or online. That's a given for every Associate program — you don't have to belabor it, but you may briefly mention it when the student's location story for required courses is unfavorable.
  - When a Skyway-Center or Cosmetology-Center program shows "Yes" at its specialized center, LEAD with that — those programs are housed there by design, and the student should plan on being at that center (not Main Campus) for the bulk of their major coursework.
  - Don't tell a student to come to Main Campus when the program's specialized center has full reliable coverage. Main might still be useful for GE; the major work is at the specialized center.
  - "GE only" is NOT "Partial". Don't soften it. Say plainly the program's required coursework isn't taught there.
  - Online is a real option for some programs, but ONLY when its column is "Yes". Don't promise online completion based on "Partial".
  - Dual Enrollment coverage is an aggregate across participating high schools — at any single HS the available courses are typically far fewer. If you mention dual enrollment, mention that "what's offered at your high school will vary."
  - Even "Yes" is "has been reliably available recently" — future schedules can shift. The student should still meet with a counselor.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Two to three short, plain sentences in second person ("you can…", "you'll need to…"). Lead with where the major's required coursework actually runs reliably — that's what determines where the student has to be. Be honest, not promotional.

  - Do NOT list percentages or course counts.
  - Do NOT promise future schedules.
  - Do NOT use the words "completability", "completable", "AY", or "primary location".
  - Do NOT call a "GE only" location a place to "complete the program" — they can't.

OUTPUT
  Return ONLY the statement text. No preamble, no quotation marks, no markdown headers.

CLUSTER
  Title: Skill Builders
  Programs in cluster: 10

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Account Clerk (Certificate):
      You can complete all the required courses for the Account Clerk Certificate through Online offerings, so you have the flexibility to study from anywhere with internet access. If you prefer in-person classes, you'll need to combine Main Campus or Chico Center with Online, since neither location alone covers all your required coursework. Either way, meet with a counselor to map out your specific course sequence and confirm current scheduling.
  • Legal Office Administration (Certificate):
      You can complete all required coursework for the Legal Office Administration Certificate through Online or at Main Campus, though you'll need to combine Main Campus with Online for some courses since not every required class runs reliably there. Online gives you the most flexibility if you want to study from anywhere with an internet connection.
  • Business Information Worker (Certificate):
      You can complete all the required coursework for this certificate online, or you can mix in-person attendance at Main Campus with online courses to fill the gaps in our on-campus schedule. Either way works—it just depends on what fits your situation best.
  • Business on the Web (Certificate):
      You can complete all the required courses for this certificate online, which gives you full flexibility to study from anywhere with internet access. If you prefer to attend in person, you'll need to combine Main Campus with online or another location, since Main Campus alone doesn't reliably offer all the courses you need. Either way, it's worth meeting with a counselor to map out your specific path.
  • Basic Computer Competency (Certificate):
      You can complete the required courses for this certificate by attending Main Campus or taking courses Online—both locations have reliably offered the coursework you'll need. If you're planning to study mostly at one location, you may need to mix in a few courses from the other to cover all your requirements, so it's worth mapping out your specific course sequence with a counselor.
  • Human Resources (Certificate):
      You can complete the required coursework for this certificate by attending mostly at the Chico Center or Online, though you'll need to combine either one with the other location to cover all the major courses. Your general education requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online, so you have flexibility there.
  • Medical Office Administration (Certificate):
      You can complete all of your required Medical Office Administration coursework online, so you have flexibility in where you're physically located. If you prefer to study on campus, Main Campus and the Chico Center both offer some of your required courses, though you'd need to combine either location with online sections to finish all your requirements. Stop by and talk with a counselor to map out a schedule that works best for you.
  • Real Estate Appraisal (Certificate):
      You can complete the required courses for this certificate by taking most of your coursework online, though you'll need to attend the Chico Center for at least one course that isn't regularly offered online. Since this is a certificate program, you won't have general education breadth requirements to balance, so your focus is on getting those major courses scheduled—and online plus the Chico Center together give you reliable coverage.
  • Real Estate Sales (Certificate):
      You can complete the required courses for this certificate by attending at the Chico Center or Online, though you'll likely need to combine whichever you choose with the other to cover all the coursework. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that works for your situation.
  • Tax Preparer (Certificate):
      You can complete all the required coursework for the Tax Preparer certificate online, so you have flexibility in where you're physically located. If you prefer in-person classes, you'll need to combine Main Campus, Chico Center, or Glenn Center with online sections to cover all your requirements, since no single physical location offers everything you need. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that works best for you.
