When you come to Chabot, our faculty and staff will engage you in your discovery of who you are, and motivate you to define goals for a prosperous future. Thanks to community support for a local bond, the college opened two brand new facilities this Spring and has retooled many classrooms and laboratories with the latest technologies so that you have an up-to-date and enriching learning experience. Because of its excellent programs and services, Chabot places in the top one-third of community colleges transferring students to UCs and CSUs. We are productively engaged with San Jose State in preparing students to transfer into Math and Science programs. CSU East Bay has asked for our support in transferring more students pursuing degrees through distance education. The UC System’s Office has developed a partnership with Chabot so that we transfer more students into majors in teaching. Our Career/Technical Education programs are served by advisory committees composed of vari- ous employers in our region. These alliances keep our programs current and relevant to the world of work or for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. In this catalog you will find descriptions of all of the programs and services provided by Chabot. Please ask for the advice of a counselor to set the path that will be most beneficial to you. We wish that your stay with us is illuminating, enriching and appropriate for your educational goals. Sincerely, Celia Barberena, Ph.D. President Chabot College 2010–2012 3 Chabot-Las Positas Board of Trustees The Chabot-Las Positas Board of Trustees governs the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District and is responsible for all policy decisions.
