For more than 45 years, College of the Canyons has served as a gateway to higher education, professional training, economic development and, by extension, opportunity for residents of the Santa Clarita Valley and beyond. Respected by our colleagues, appreciated by our partners and supported by our students and community members, for the past 25 years College of the Canyons has been led by its dynamic Chancellor, Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook, and fueled by scores of dedicated faculty, staff and administrators. It`s because of this leadership that COC has been able to establish a foundation of excellence that will continue to grow, as the institution strives to uphold the ideals of higher education while contributing to our vibrant, thriving community.
Apollo Education Group, Inc. was founded in 1973 in response to a gradual shift in higher education demographics from a student population dominated by youth to one in which approximately half the students are adults and over 80 percent of whom work full-time. Apollo`s founder, John Sperling, believed -- and events proved him right -- that lifelong employment with a single employer would be replaced by lifelong learning and employment with a variety of employers. Lifelong learning requires an institution dedicated solely to the education of working adults. Today, Apollo Education Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, the University of Phoenix, the College for Financial Planning, and Western International University, has established itself as a leading provider of higher education programs for working adults by focusing on servicing the needs of the working adult.
During the 1950s, the demand for education beyond high school created tremendous support for a new community college to serve Bay, Midland and Saginaw counties. In September 1961, Delta College opened its doors to approximately 1,800 students who hoped for a brighter future. Today, Delta College enrolls nearly 16,500 students annually. These individuals range from high school students taking Delta dual-enrollment classes to older adults returning to college to enhance their skills or for a fresh start. The main campus has been expanded and renovated (with more than $68 million in changes since 1999), and Delta College has established three off-campus centers – the Planetarium and Learning Center in Bay City, the Midland Center, and the Ricker Center in Saginaw – to better serve each community. In addition to our quality academic programs, we offer other learning-centered opportunities to our community through Delta College Quality Public Broadcasting, the Business Solutions group (Corporate Services, Lifelong Learning and Michigan Small Business Development Center) and the Planetarium.

Sterling College uses education as a force to address critical ecological problems caused by unlimited growth and consumption that is destroying the planet as we have known it. Our mission is to advance ecological thinking and action through affordable experiential learning that prepares people to be knowledgeable, skilled, and responsible leaders in the communities in which they live. Sterling acknowledges that the land on which we gather is the traditional and unceded territory of the Abenaki people on our Vermont campus, and the Shawnee, Osage, and the Eastern band of the Cherokee on our Kentucky campus.
