Description
Located in Redding, California, Shasta College is an inspiring example of why serving students with “some college, but no degree” is critical to supporting the local community. Most residents in the area, which is one of the state’s northernmost counties, live and work in the immediate area and serve the community through local businesses, hospitals, schools, and government agencies. College leadership knew that improving degree attainment was critical for the prosperity of Shasta and the surrounding region.
