Helping Students Meet Their Career and Academic Goals

The Success Center aligns with our interest areas, which are a group of related academic programs offered at Sierra College. Each interest area has a dedicated support specialist who partners with Sierra College instructional faculty and counselors to help get you to your goal.

Our mission is to bridge the gaps between continuing students’ needs and the various campus resources, programs, and services our college provides to help students succeed.

Check out our interest area video to learn more about the support you receive.
