Natural and architectural beauty, state-of-the art classrooms, impressive arts and science centers and an extensive range of academic offerings summarize the Santa Rosa Junior College experience. Located in Santa Rosa, California, Santa Rosa Junior is regarded as one of the most beautiful community college campuses in the state of California with its ivy-lined brick buildings and colorful gardens. Santa Rosa’s environment also boasts a planetarium, a well-respected summer repertory theatre, an art gallery and a museum, all of which are well-attended by the public. Academically, Santa Rosa’s offerings run the gamut. Certificate programs are offered in fields that are highly marketable throughout the region. These include Wine Studies, Parks and Recreation Management, Agriculture and Culinary Arts.
