| UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS |
|
Ohlone’s small classrooms and accessible professors create a welcoming atmosphere. The college curriculum provides a variety of classes, majors, degreed programs and certificate programs to choose from and it’s easy to transfer to four-year institutions. In addition, Ohlone offers study options such as online and fast track courses. Online courses enable students to learn about subjects from the comfort of home. Fast track class options include short-term courses designed for students who want to take college credit courses but don’t have the time to commit to a full-term course.
Ohlone is building for the future, with the completion of the state-of-the-art Gary Soren Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts in 1995. The center includes two television broadcast studios, a digital radio station, dance studio, amphitheatre, art gallery and two theatres. Currently, a new center for technology and business is under construction and will house cutting edge computer, electronics and engineering labs. Ohlone is committed to help students build a foundation in their chosen field before transferring to a university or finding a job. |
