Community Programs

Butte College community programs serve people at every stage of life. Many of our classes are free (non-credit), and others charge a fee (not-for-credit). Neither leads to college credit, so you can jump in without an application or transcript.

Whether you want to grow a skill, change careers, launch a small business, or strengthen your family, we offer hands-on classes, workforce training, consulting, and resources to help you get there.
