CLUSTER
  Title: Recording Arts
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Recording Arts (AS Degree):
      You'll do most of your Recording Arts coursework at Main Campus, though you'll need to take some courses online or arrange them through other means to finish all your requirements. Your general education can be completed at any Butte location or online, which gives you flexibility there. Meet with a counselor to map out a specific schedule that works for you.
  • Recording Arts (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to do most of your required coursework at Main Campus, though you may have to take a course or two elsewhere or online to fill gaps in what's offered there. Online can cover some of your requirements if that works better for your schedule. Check with a counselor to map out a plan that works for your situation.

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.

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: Theatre Arts
  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  (3 of 5 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Chico Center:   GE only  (0 of 5 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Glenn Center:   GE only  (0 of 5 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Online:         Partial  (1 of 5 required slots reliably satisfiable here)

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: Fashion
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Fashion Merchandising (AS Degree):
      You'll need to combine Online with at least one physical location to finish this degree, since no single location reliably offers all the required courses for Fashion Merchandising. Online has strong coverage of the major requirements, so that could be your main pathway—you'd just need to add Main Campus or the Chico Center for the gaps. Your general education can be completed at any of our centers or online, which gives you flexibility in how you structure the rest of your plan.
  • Fashion Merchandising (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to combine Main Campus with Online to complete the required courses for this certificate—neither location alone has all the courses you need, but together they cover everything reliably. Your general education can be completed at any of our centers or online, so you have flexibility there while you're working through the major requirements.

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.

CLUSTER
  Title: Music
  Programs in cluster: 4

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Music (AA-T Degree):
      You'll need to plan on attending at Main Campus for your major's required coursework—that's where all the music courses you need are reliably offered. You can complete your general education requirements at Main Campus, at the Chico Center, at Glenn Center, or Online if that works better for your schedule.
  • Music (AA Degree):
      You'll need to base yourself at Main Campus for most of your major's required coursework, since that's where the Music program's courses run reliably. You'll likely fill in a few gaps with online sections or courses at other centers, and you can complete your general education requirements at any Butte location or online. Check with a counselor to map out your specific plan based on what's offered when you're ready to enroll.
  • Music (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete your Music Certificate of Achievement at Main Campus, where all required major coursework is reliably offered. Your general education requirements can be taken at any Butte center or online, so you have flexibility there—but plan on Main Campus for your music courses.
  • Music Theory and Composition (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to split your major coursework between Main Campus and either the Chico Center, Glenn Center, or Online, since Main Campus alone doesn't offer all the required courses reliably. Your best bet is to pair Main Campus with Online for the gaps, or check what's available at the Chico Center or Glenn Center in the term you're planning to enroll. You can complete your GE breadth requirements at any of Butte's locations or online.

WHAT TO WRITE

CLUSTER
  Title: Skill Builders
  Programs in cluster: 5

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Clothing Construction (Certificate):
      You'll need to do your major coursework at Main Campus, where most of the required courses for this certificate run reliably. You can fill in any gaps and complete your general education requirements at other Butte locations or online if that works better for your schedule.
  • Fashion Design (Certificate):
      The required courses for Fashion Design haven't shown reliable patterns at any of our locations in recent terms, which means you'll need to combine locations or take courses as they become available. You can complete your general education requirements at Main Campus, Chico Center, Glenn Center, or Online, and I'd recommend meeting with a counselor to map out a schedule that works with how the major courses are actually being offered.
  • Mass Media Studies (Certificate):
      You'll need to combine Online and the Chico Center to complete the required courses for this certificate, since neither location alone offers everything you need. Your best bet is to plan on taking some courses Online and filling in the gaps at the Chico Center—that combination gives you full coverage of what the program requires.
  • Single Camera Video Production (Certificate):
      You can complete the required coursework for this certificate at Main Campus, where all major courses have been reliably available. If you'd prefer to study at the Chico Center, you'll need to combine it with Main Campus or Online for some of the specialized courses, since not all requirements are regularly offered there. Meet with a counselor to confirm current scheduling before you finalize your plan.
  • Theatre Arts (Certificate):
      You'll do your major coursework at Main Campus, though you'll need to combine it with either another location or Online to cover all your required courses. Your general education requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online, so you have flexibility there.
