Yuba College is located among the rice fields and fruit orchards of northern California in the city of Marysville, and in close proximity to Beale AFB. A short thirty miles north of Sacramento, Yuba College provides many transfer degree and career technical education programs. The cities of Yuba City and Marysville present a multi- cultural environment where residents from such diverse ethnicity as Latinos, Hmong, and Punjabi provide a rich mix of cultural and social events for our community. Thousands of visitors annually attend the Festival of Colors, the Bok GH Javaheripour Kai Festival and the Sikh Festival and parade. President Outdoor activities are minutes away. Mount Shasta and Lake Tahoe offer great skiing opportunities in the winter and are sources of many rivers and streams that support summer outdoor activities. Lakes provide opportunities for boating and water skiing, while our streams are stocked with trout, salmon, and bass. And, if you enjoy participating in sports, Yuba College students represent twelve sports competing in the Bay Valley Conference. Yuba College Forty-Niners are among the most competitive student athletes and have competed for many conference and statewide cham- pionships. Many of our student athletes are recruited by Division I universities and many have played for national and international professional teams. I encourage you to take time to review this catalog as it contains information on curriculum offerings, course descriptions, student support services, and serves as your reference during your journey at Yuba College. Yuba College offers an array of programs of study that transfer to universities, earn associate degrees, and completion of career and technical certificates.
