Associate Degree in Respiratory Care

The Butte College Respiratory Care program, accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC), prepares students to become licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners in California and to participate in the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) examinations administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC). Respiratory Care Practitioners are highly skilled allied health professionals involved in therapy, management, rehabilitation, diagnostic evaluation, and patient care for cardiopulmonary deficiencies and abnormalities.

Flexibility

You'll need to plan on attending Main Campus for most of your major's required coursework, since that's where the core classes reliably run. You can fill in gaps by taking some courses online or completing your general education requirements at any of our centers. Meeting with a counselor to map out your specific semester plan will help you coordinate locations efficiently.

PROGRAM
  Title: Respiratory Care
  Award: AS 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  (8 of 13 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Chico Center:   GE only  (0 of 13 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Glenn Center:   GE only  (0 of 13 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Online:         Partial  (2 of 13 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Dual Enrollment:       Partial  (1 of 13)  ← 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.

Associate Degree for Transfer in Nutrition and Dietetics

The Associate in Science in Nutrition and Dietetics for Transfer degree (AS-T in Nutrition and Dietetics) is designed for students who plan to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics or a related program at a California State University. This degree provides foundational knowledge in chemistry, biology, math, and nutrition that aligns with the first two years of many four-year programs and meets lower-division major preparation for CSU, Chico. Students transferring into the General Dietetics option will also study psychology, while those pursuing the Food Administration option will gain accounting and business knowledge.

AS

Associate Degree in Nutrition and Food Science

The Associate of Science Degree in Nutrition and Food Science prepares students to be able to apply core scientific concepts from microbiology, human physiology, chemistry, and statistics to the study of nutrition and food systems. They will understand how food can become contaminated and identify effective prevention methods to ensure food safety. Students will demonstrate academic and professional skills that prepare them for transfer and continued success in upper-division nutrition, dietetics, and related programs.

Flexibility

The programs in this cluster let you complete general education requirements flexibly across any of our centers or online. However, your major coursework is primarily available at Main Campus, and depending on your program, you may need to take courses at additional locations like the Glenn Center or Online to fit your schedule. We recommend meeting with a counselor to map out your major courses first, since course availability varies by location and term.

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Nutrition and Dietetics (AS-T Degree):
      You can complete all your required coursework for the Nutrition and Dietetics AS-T degree at Main Campus. Your general education requirements can be taken at any of our centers or online, giving you flexibility around your schedule once you've finished your major courses.
  • Nutrition and Food Science (AS Degree):
      You'll need to split your coursework between Main Campus and at least one other location, since no single campus reliably offers all the required courses for this degree. Main Campus has the most consistent coverage, but you'll likely use Online or the Glenn Center to fill in gaps depending on when you plan to take specific courses. Your GE breadth requirements can be completed flexibly across any of our centers or online, so focus first on mapping out your major courses with a counselor to 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. 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.

Certificate of Achievement in Medical Coding

The Certificate of Achievement in Medical Coding prepares students for careers as medical coders and billers. Medical coders and billers review patient health records, assign appropriate codes to diagnoses and procedures performed by healthcare providers, and submit claims for reimbursement and payment collection. Employment opportunities in this field are expanding due to an aging population and increased access to health insurance.

Flexibility

You can complete the required courses for the Medical Coding certificate primarily online or by combining Main Campus with online sections. Glenn Center and Chico Center don't reliably offer the major coursework you'll need, so you'd want to plan on taking most of your program requirements either online or at Main Campus supplemented with online courses.

Associate Degree for Transfer in Public Health Science

The Associate in Science in Public Health Science for Transfer is designed for students planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Public Health Science at a California State University (CSU) campus. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, though not to a specific campus or major, and will be required to complete no more than 60 additional units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.

Flexibility

You can complete most of your Public Health Science major requirements at Main Campus or Online, though you'll need to combine either location with Glenn Center or the Chico Center to fill in a few gaps. Your general education can be finished at any Butte location or online, so you have flexibility there once you've planned your major courses.
