CLUSTER
  Title: Studio Art and Graphic Design
  Programs in cluster: 4

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Studio Arts (AA-T Degree):
      You can plan on Main Campus for your Studio Arts required coursework — it's reliably offered there. The Chico Center covers a good chunk of your requirements, but you'll need to fill in the rest at Main Campus, since Online only reliably covers a small piece and can't get you through the major on its own. If you're considering Dual Enrollment, keep in mind coverage varies a lot by high school. Check in with a counselor as you map out your schedule.
  • Arts (AA Degree):
      Main Campus is where you can plan to take your required Arts courses — all of them run reliably there. The Chico Center covers a good chunk of the major, so it could work as a partner location if you're combining schedules, but you'll still need Main Campus for the rest. Glenn Center and Online can help fill in general education, but they won't carry the required coursework, so check in with a counselor as you map out your schedule.
  • Graphic Design (AA Degree):
      For your Graphic Design AA, Main Campus reliably covers most of your required courses, so plan on being there for the bulk of your major coursework. The Chico Center offers some required courses reliably, which can fill in a few gaps, but it won't cover everything on its own. Online only reliably covers a couple of required slots, so don't count on finishing your major requirements that way, though GE breadth can be done there or at any center. Check in with a counselor to map out the exact sequence.
  • Graphic Design for Print (AS Degree):
      No single location covers all your required Graphic Design courses, so plan on splitting your time between Main Campus and the Chico Center, which together carry most of the major coursework. Glenn Center and Online only reliably cover a few required courses, so they're better for filling gaps or general education than for anchoring your schedule. Meet with a counselor to map out a term-by-term plan across these locations.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences — under 120 words total — 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: Photography and Ceramics
  Programs in cluster: 3

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Ceramics (AA Degree):
      For your Ceramics AA, you'll want to plan on being at Main Campus — that's where all of your required coursework reliably runs. The Chico Center offers a few required courses, but not enough to build your major schedule around, so it'll need to be paired with Main Campus. Online and Dual Enrollment cover only a small piece of the requirements, so they can't substitute for time on campus. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule.
  • Ceramics (Certificate of Achievement):
      For this certificate, plan to be at Main Campus — all of your required Ceramics coursework runs reliably there. The Chico Center offers only a small piece of the required coursework, so it can't carry your major requirements on its own; you'd still need Main Campus for the rest. Online and Glenn Center work well for general education, but not for the Ceramics core. Check in with a counselor as you build your schedule, since offerings can shift.
  • Photography (AS Degree):
      You'll want to plan on being at Main Campus for nearly all of your required Photography courses — that's where the program reliably runs. The Chico Center and Online can fill in a course or two, but they won't cover your major requirements on their own, so don't count on finishing there. If your high school offers Dual Enrollment Photography courses, those can help too, though what's offered varies by school. Check in with a counselor to map out your specific sequence.

CLUSTER
  Title: Multimedia Studies
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Multimedia Studies (AS Degree):
      For your Multimedia Studies AS, plan to be at Main Campus for your required coursework — that's where it's been reliably offered. The Chico Center, Glenn Center, and Online can cover your general education classes, but not the major requirements, so relying on those locations alone won't get you through the program. Check in with a counselor to map out your schedule, since course offerings can shift over time.
  • Multimedia Studies (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll want to plan on being at Main Campus for this certificate — that's where the required Multimedia Studies coursework reliably runs. The Chico Center, Glenn Center, and Online can help you knock out general education courses if your program includes them, but they don't currently offer the required major courses on a dependable basis, so you can't count on finishing the certificate there. Check in with a counselor as you build your schedule, since course offerings can shift over time.

CLUSTER
  Title: Art History
  Programs in cluster: 1

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Art History (AA-T Degree):
      For your Art History courses, Main Campus is your best bet — nearly all of your required coursework runs there reliably. The Chico Center and Online each cover only some of the required classes, so you'd need to combine either with Main Campus to fill the gaps, and the Glenn Center won't offer any of your required courses (though you can knock out general education there). If dual enrollment is available at your high school, keep in mind it typically covers just one piece of the major, and what's offered will vary by school. Meet with a counselor to map out the specific sequence.

CLUSTER
  Title: Skill Builders
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • 2D Animation and Games (Certificate):
      For this certificate, no single location has you fully covered — the Chico Center offers the most consistent required coursework, but you'll still need to fill in gaps elsewhere. Main Campus, Glenn Center, and Online only reliably offer general education courses for this program, not the major coursework itself. If your high school participates in Dual Enrollment, a required course or two may be available there, but offerings vary by school. Meet with a counselor to map out a realistic combination of locations for the required courses.
  • Professional Photography (Certificate):
      Plan on being at Main Campus for this certificate — all of your required photography coursework is reliably offered there. The Chico Center covers some of the required courses, but not all, so relying on it alone will leave gaps you'd need to fill at Main Campus. Glenn Center and Online can help with general education, but not with the certificate's required courses; check in with a counselor as you build your schedule.
