CLUSTER
  Title: Computer Animation and Game Development
  Programs in cluster: 1

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Computer Animation and Game Development (AS Degree):
      You'll mainly need to be at Main Campus, where most of your required courses run reliably; the Chico Center covers a good chunk of the rest but not all, so plan to combine the two. Glenn Center only works for general education, not your major courses, and online options are too limited to rely on for your required coursework. Meet with a counselor to map out the exact sequence 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.

  Title: Computer System Administration and Information
  Programs in cluster: 5

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Computer System Administration (AS Degree):
      No single location covers all of your required Computer System Administration coursework, so plan on combining a few options. Online offers the strongest reliable coverage of your major courses, but not all of them, so you'll still need to pick up some requirements at Main Campus or the Chico Center. If you're weighing dual enrollment, remember that what's offered at your specific high school will vary. Meet with a counselor to map out the exact sequence and confirm what's running when you need it.
  • Computer System Administration (Certificate of Achievement):
      No single location covers this certificate's required courses reliably, so plan to combine options. Online offers the most consistent coverage of your required courses, but not all of them, so you'll still need to fill gaps with in-person sections at Main Campus or the Chico Center, where only limited required coursework shows up regularly. Meet with a counselor to map out a term-by-term plan before you register.
  • Computer Information Systems (AS Degree):
      No single location covers every required course reliably, so plan to combine a couple of options. Main Campus and Online each cover most of the required coursework, with Chico Center covering a bit less, so you could build a schedule around one of these and fill occasional gaps from another. Glenn Center and Dual Enrollment options are much more limited for required courses (and if you're considering dual enrollment, what's offered at your high school will vary), so treat those as supplements rather than your main plan. Meet with a counselor to map out the specific sequence that works for you.
  • Cyber-Security Practitioner (AS Degree):
      No single location covers this degree's required courses on its own, so plan to combine locations. Online carries a good share of the major coursework reliably, and Main Campus and the Chico Center each offer a smaller piece — you'll likely need to mix Online with in-person sections at one or both of those to cover everything. The Glenn Center works for GE breadth but not for required major courses. Meet with a counselor to map out a term-by-term plan.
  • Cyber-Security Practitioner (Certificate of Achievement):
      No single location covers this certificate's required coursework on its own, so you'll likely need to combine a couple of options. Online carries the largest share of the required courses reliably, making it a strong anchor, but you'll still need to fill in gaps through Main Campus, the Chico Center, or Dual Enrollment (if your high school offers the right sections, since availability varies by school). The Glenn Center works for general education only, not for this program's required courses. Meet with a counselor to map out a sequence that fits your situation.

  Title: Computer Programming
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Computer Programming (AS Degree):
      Most of your required Computer Programming coursework is reliably available Online, so that's your most realistic path for the major classes. Main Campus and the Chico Center each cover only a few of the required courses, so you'd need to pair them with Online to fill the gaps rather than rely on either alone. The Glenn Center works well for general education but won't carry you through the program's required courses. Check in with a counselor to map out the exact sequence you'll need.
  • Computer Programming (Certificate of Achievement):
      Most of your required Computer Programming coursework is reliably available Online, so you can plan on doing the bulk of this certificate from anywhere with internet access. Main Campus and Chico Center each offer some required courses reliably, but not enough to cover the whole program, so you'd need to fill gaps with Online. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that fits your situation.

  Title: Computer Science
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Computer Science (AS-T Degree):
      For Computer Science, plan on being at Main Campus for the bulk of your required coursework — that's where all of it reliably runs. The Chico Center and Online each cover only a few required courses, so you'd need to combine them with Main Campus rather than rely on either alone, and the Glenn Center works for general education only, not the major's required classes. Meet with a counselor to map the specific sequence you'll need.
  • Computer Science (AS Degree):
      For your Computer Science AS, you'll need to plan on being at Main Campus, since that's where all your required courses run reliably. Chico Center, Glenn Center, and Online each cover only a few of the required courses, so they work well for filling gaps or knocking out GE, but not as your main base. Check in with a counselor as you build your schedule, since course offerings can shift.

  Title: Engineering
  Programs in cluster: 12

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Civil Engineering (AS Degree):
      For your Civil Engineering AS, you'll need to plan on being at Main Campus for almost all of your required coursework — that's where the program reliably runs. Chico Center and Online only cover a small piece of the requirements, so they won't work as your main option, though either can help with general education courses. Meet with a counselor to map out your specific schedule.
  • Civil Engineering (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll be doing most of your required coursework at Main Campus, where nearly all of it is reliably offered. The Chico Center and Online only cover a small piece of the major requirements, so they won't work as your main base — you'd need to combine them with Main Campus, and the Glenn Center only works for general education, not your required courses. Plan on Main Campus for your major classes, and check in with a counselor as you build your schedule.
  • Electrical Engineering (AS Degree, Transfer Major):
      For this degree, plan on being at Main Campus for almost all of your required coursework — it's reliably offered there and should be your home base. Chico Center and Online can fill in only a small piece of what you need, and Glenn Center won't cover any required courses (though it works fine for GE). Meet with a counselor to map out how to fill the remaining gaps.
  • Electrical Engineering (Certificate of Achievement):
      Most of your required Electrical Engineering coursework runs reliably at Main Campus, so plan on being there for the bulk of the program. Chico Center and Online each cover only a small piece of the requirements, so they can't stand in as your main location — think of them as occasional supplements at most, not substitutes. Meet with a counselor to map your specific course sequence and confirm current offerings.
  • Mechatronic Engineering (AS Degree, Transfer Major):
      For Mechatronic Engineering, plan on being at Main Campus for almost all of your required coursework — it reliably covers nearly everything you need. The Chico Center and Online can only fill in a small piece here or there, and the Glenn Center only works for your general education courses, not the major itself. Because so much of the program lives at Main Campus, don't count on piecing this degree together from other locations — meet with a counselor to map out the few gaps and confirm your plan.
  • Mechatronic Engineering (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll be doing most of your Mechatronic Engineering coursework at Main Campus, where nearly all required courses run reliably. The Chico Center and Online offer only a course or two each on a dependable basis, so they can fill in a gap here or there but won't carry the program on their own; the Glenn Center works for GE breadth but not for required coursework. Plan on Main Campus as your home base, and check in with a counselor as you map out the sequence.
  • Computer Engineering (AS Degree, Transfer Major):
      For this degree, you'll need to plan on being at Main Campus — nearly all of your required coursework runs there reliably. Chico Center and Online only cover a handful of required courses, so they can't carry your major requirements on their own, though either works fine for GE breadth. Glenn Center doesn't offer required coursework for this program, so it's GE-only for you. Meet with a counselor to map out the specific course sequence.
  • Computer Engineering (Certificate of Achievement):
      Most of your required coursework for this Computer Engineering certificate runs reliably at Main Campus, so you should plan to be there for the bulk of your major classes. Online coursework can help cover some requirements, but not all, so it won't work as your sole location. The Chico Center and Glenn Center aren't reliable options for the required courses, though Glenn Center can support general breadth needs. Meet with a counselor to map out the specific sequence that fits your schedule.
  • Mechanical Engineering (AS Degree):
      You'll want to plan on being at Main Campus for nearly all of your required Mechanical Engineering coursework — it's reliably offered there. Chico Center, Online, and Glenn Center may work for general education, but they won't cover your major requirements in any dependable way. Meet with a counselor to map out your schedule and confirm current course offerings each term.
  • Mechanical Engineering (Certificate of Achievement):
      For this certificate, you'll mainly need to plan on being at Main Campus, where most of the required coursework reliably runs. Online only covers a couple of required slots, so it can help fill gaps but won't get you through the program on its own, and the Chico Center and Glenn Center don't offer the required courses at all — those work for GE if you need it, not for the core coursework. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that fits your needs.
  • Engineering Fundamentals (Certificate of Achievement):
      Main Campus is where you'll want to be for this certificate — all of the required coursework runs reliably there. Chico Center, Glenn Center, Online, and Dual Enrollment each offer only a handful of the required courses on a dependable basis, so relying on any one of them alone would leave real gaps in your schedule. If you can't be at Main Campus regularly, plan to meet with a counselor to map out how to piece together the remaining requirements, keeping in mind that Dual Enrollment options depend heavily on which high school you attend.
  • Engineering Support Technician (Certificate of Achievement):
      No single location covers all of this certificate's required courses, so plan on splitting your coursework. Main Campus and Online each carry a good share of the required classes, but you'll likely need to combine one of these with the other (or with occasional sections at the Chico Center) to get everything you need. The Glenn Center works for general education only, not for your required technical courses. Meet with a counselor to map out a term-by-term plan across 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.

  Title: Skill Builders
  Programs in cluster: 5

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Cisco Network Administration (Certificate):
      Here's the honest picture for this certificate: none of Butte's physical centers reliably offer the required networking courses, so you can't count on completing the major coursework by attending Main Campus, Chico Center, or Glenn Center alone. Online covers some, but not all, of your required courses, so you'll likely need to combine Online with another option to fill the gaps. If dual enrollment is available through your high school, it can help with part of the requirements too, but what's offered at your high school will vary. Meet with a counselor to map out a realistic combination for your specific situation.
  • Computer Support Technician (Certificate):
      You can complete this certificate's required coursework entirely Online, which makes it a solid option if you need flexibility. Main Campus, Chico Center, and Glenn Center only offer general education courses, so you won't be able to finish the program's core requirements at those locations. If you're taking dual enrollment courses through your high school, keep in mind coverage is limited and varies by school, so check what's actually offered there. Meet with a counselor to map out your plan.
  • Linux Pro (Certificate):
      No single location covers all of your required Linux Pro coursework reliably, so plan on combining Online with either Main Campus or the Chico Center to fill in the gaps. Online carries most of the required courses, but not all, so you'll still need at least one in-person piece from a center. The Glenn Center works fine for general education but won't cover your major requirements. Meet with a counselor to map out the exact sequence.
  • Security Pro (Certificate):
      For Security Pro, no single location covers all your required courses reliably, so plan to combine locations. The Chico Center and Online each carry part of the load, but you'll need to piece together the rest elsewhere to cover everything. Main Campus and Glenn Center work for general education, but not for the program's required courses. Meet with a counselor to map out a specific term-by-term plan.
  • Server Administration (Certificate):
      Here's the honest picture for this certificate: none of Butte's centers reliably offer the full set of required Server Administration courses, and Online covers only part of what you need. You'll likely have to piece together your required courses across locations and terms rather than count on finishing at one site. Meet with a counselor to map out a term-by-term plan before you register.
