Delta College Trades Day!

A group of BVCS students got to experience the many career opportunities in the construction field at a local Trades Day event, hosted by Valley Builder's Exchange.  Students learned about different training programs and apprenticeship opportunities, got to participate in different hands on experiences and made connections with those who work in the construction field!   

Jessup University Partnership

BVCS and Jessup University have formed a partnership that gives our students $4,000/year in college scholarships if they attend Jessup straight after high school.  Read the below flyer for more information about this amazing opportunity!

IGETC is a general education pattern that, upon full or “partial” (all but two courses) certification, will satisfy all or most lower-division general education requirements at California State University (CSU) campuses, most University of California (UC) campuses/majors, and some private/independent or out-of state universities. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or higher. IGETC certification is not recommended for “high-unit” majors. Complete a Guidance class or meet with a counselor to accurately plan coursework to satisfy transfer admission and upper-division major requirements.
