Bakersfield College 2015-2016 CatalogAbout Bakersfield CollegeHistory of Bakersfield CollegeEstablished in 1913, Bakersfield College is one of the oldest two-yearcommunity colleges in the nation. The initial program offered a oneyear curriculum, and in 1915 the trustees of the Kern County HighSchool and Junior College District authorized a second year of juniorcollege and normal school courses. The college opened its presentday campus high above the Panorama bluffs in 1956. BakersfieldCollege offers courses at its satellite campuses located in downtownBakersfield at the Weill Institute, at its Delano Campus, and otherlocations in Kern County.The 153-acre Panorama Campus features a state-of-the-art libraryand technology center and a 19,000-seat stadium that is the crownjewel of community colleges nationwide. As the majority of the buildings on the Panorama Campus are at least50 years old, state and bond-funded construction will continue toupgrade facilities to help students achieve their academic goals.Bakersfield College MissionBakersfield College provides opportunities for students from diverseeconomic, cultural, and educational backgrounds to attain degreesand certificates, workplace skills, and preparation for transfer.

Student Right to KnowIn compliance with the federal Student Right-to-Know (SRTK) Actof 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of Bakersfield Collegeto publish its student completion and transfer rates. These rates arebased on a limited cohort (or group) of students which are trackedfor a three-year period. The cohort is limited because it only includesstudents who entered Bakersfield College in the fall term as firsttime, full-time students seeking a degree, certificate, or transfer.Students included in the 2010 SRTK Cohort were tracked from Fall2010 to Spring 2013 to determine their academic outcomes duringthe time period.A student is included in the Completion Rate if he/she attained acertificate or degree or became “transfer prepared” within the threeyear period. Transfer-prepared is defined as having completed 60transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better.A student is included in the Transfer Rate if, within the threeyear tracking period, he/she transferred to another postsecondaryinstitution prior to receiving a certificate or degree or becoming“transfer-prepared.”The table below compares Bakersfield College’s Completion andTransfer Rates to the statewide community college average.2010 SRTK Cohort Completion Rate Transfer RateBakersfield CollegeStatewide17.5%26.3%9.8%13.6%These rates do not represent the completion and transfer rates of theentire student population at Bakersfield College, nor do they accountfor student outcomes occurring after the three-year tracking period.For further information on SRTK methodology, interpretation,and rates at other community colleges, you can visit the CaliforniaCommunity College Chancellor’s Office web site at srtk.cccco.edu/index.asp.Equal Opportunity Employment StatementIn accordance with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act,Bakersfield College provides services and benefits to studentsregardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, age,religion, marital status, medical condition, or disability.
