Welcome to Santa Rosa Junior College Widely regarded as one of the finest community colleges in the state, Santa Rosa Junior College is known for its academic rigor, its outstanding vocational training programs, superb faculty, comprehensive student services, and excellent facilities. Our focus is on the student and the successes that our students have achieved are evidence of that attention. While we traditionally enroll approximately 35,000 students each semester, our class sizes are small and students have the opportunity to work closely with their professors. Our transfer students who go on to four year colleges and universities do as well as (and in many cases, better than) students who began their college careers at a four year institution. Students who complete one of our more than 100 vocational certificates enter the workforce well trained to succeed in business and industry. SRJCs commitment to excellence in education is not limited to the classroom. The college offers an extensive Study Abroad Program with sites in England, France, Italy, Spain and Costa Rica as well as award winning athletic and forensics teams, talented performing and visual arts programs, and an active student government. A description of what SRJC has to offer would not be complete without mentioning our extensive scholarship and financial aid program which provides more than $12 million annually to our students. SRJCs prestigious Doyle Scholarship Program, funded by Exchange Banks Doyle Trust, is the only one of its kind in the country. Each year incoming freshmen and continuing college students receive Doyle scholarships ranging from $750 to $1450 per year, regardless of need. This program, in addition to scholarships provided through the generosity of donors to the Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation, and the colleges financial aid program, means that no student is denied a college education because of financial need. I can assure you that if you choose SRJC, you have chosen the best! I encourage you to visit Santa Rosa Junior College to see for yourself what SRJC has to offer. Good luck as you pursue your educational goals and I hope I have the opportunity to meet you on one of our campuses. Robert F. Agrella, Superintendent/President A public Community College of the Sonoma County Junior College District Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges
