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.
