Sierra College's main campus is located in Rocklin, California, approximately 25 miles northeast of Sacramento in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The 311-acre suburban campus features modern academic facilities amid native oak trees, with additional satellite locations in Grass Valley, Roseville, and Truckee serving the greater Placer County region. Established in 1936, Sierra College operates as a public community college offering two-year associate degrees, career technical education, and transfer programs to four-year universities. The college is known for its strong science and engineering programs, nursing education, and applied technology departments, with notable facilities including a natural history museum and planetarium. While primarily a commuter school, the campus includes athletic facilities where the Sierra College Wolverines compete in the California Community College Athletic Association.
