Academic and Career Communities

 

Chaffey's degree and certificate programs are organized into six Academic and Career Communities based on job families, interest areas, and similarities in coursework. Program maps within each Academic and Career Community represent the sequencing and combinations of major and general education coursework recommended by faculty to help you develop your educational plan. Choose an Academic and Career Community to access the recommended academic pathways in each Community. For degree and certificate maps not yet available here, please meet with a Counselor and/or Community Advisor to discuss recommended course sequencing.

 

If you need assistance selecting the right Academic and Career Community or Chaffey College program, or help with career exploration and planning,

meet with a Career Counselor. It is recommended that you complete career planning self-assessments on Focus2Career prior to your appointment.
