CLUSTER
  Title: Accounting
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Accounting (AS Degree):
      Most of the required accounting courses are reliably offered online, though you'll likely need to pick up one or two courses in person—Chico Center has the strongest in-person coverage, with Main Campus offering some options as well. Plan on combining online coursework with occasional trips to Chico or Oroville to complete everything you need.
  • Professional Accountant (Certificate of Achievement):
      Most of the required courses for this certificate have been reliably offered online, but you'll still need to pick up at least one course at a physical location—Chico Center has had the strongest in-person coverage. Plan on combining online classes with some trips to Chico or Main Campus in Oroville to complete everything. Since schedules can shift, check in with a counselor to map out your specific path.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences that summarize the AVAILABILITY STORY shared by these programs. Most programs in a cluster will have similar availability — name the common pattern. Note distinct outliers ONLY if a program's availability story differs in a way that affects student decisions (e.g., one program is online-only, others are not).

  - Plain, student-facing language.
  - Refer to "the programs in this cluster" or "these programs" — don't list each program by name unless an outlier needs calling out.
  - If all programs share the same flexibility story, write one unified statement.
  - Do NOT list percentages, term codes, or jargon.
  - Lead with the most flexible/strongest availability and follow with caveats.

CLUSTER
  Title: Business Administration and Management
  Programs in cluster: 4

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Business Administration 2.0 (AS-T Degree):
      You can complete a good portion of your required Business Administration courses at either Chico Center or online, but neither location covers everything on its own. Plan on mixing Chico Center with online sections—or combining one of those with Main Campus—to get through all your major requirements. Meet with a counselor to map out exactly which courses you'll need to pick up at each location.
  • Business Administration (AS Degree):
      You can complete the required coursework for this degree at Main Campus in Oroville, at the Chico Center, or fully online. Glenn County Center offers some required courses, but you'd need to combine it with another location or online sections to finish. Check in with a counselor to map out your specific path and stay current on scheduling.
  • Business Management (AS Degree):
      Most of the required courses for this degree have been reliably available online, though you'd likely need to pick up a course or two at Chico Center or Main Campus to fill in the gaps. If you prefer learning in person, Chico Center has offered the strongest selection of required courses recently, but you'd still need to supplement with online or another location. I'd recommend we sit down together to map out a realistic plan based on where you'll be and how you prefer to take classes.
  • Retail Management (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all the required coursework for this certificate fully online, which gives you the most flexibility. If you prefer some in-person classes, the Chico Center and Main Campus each offer a portion of what you need, but you'd still need to fill gaps online or at another location. I'd recommend meeting with a counselor to map out a schedule that works for you.

PROGRAM
  Title: Marketing
  Award: AS Degree

LOCATION GEOGRAPHY
  - Main Campus is in Oroville.
  - Chico Center is in Chico (general center; many transfer-degree courses run there).
  - Glenn Center is in Willows.
  - Skyway Center is also in Chico — it's the dedicated home of the
    Auto Technology and Industrial / Power Pathway programs.
  - Cosmetology Center is also in Chico — it's the dedicated home of
    the Cosmetology and Barbering programs.
  - Online means a student can take it from anywhere with internet.
  - Dual Enrollment sections are taught at participating high schools
    across the region (NOT at Butte's centers). Coverage varies by HS.

RELIABLE REQUIRED-COURSE OFFERINGS BY LOCATION (last two academic years)
A required course counts as "reliably offered" at a location only if it
showed a REGULAR PATTERN — at least one section in BOTH window falls or
in BOTH window springs. A one-off section doesn't count: the student
can't bank on it coming back. For Select-N slots (e.g. "Select two"),
the slot is reliably satisfied at a location only when ≥N of its
options are reliably offered there.

  Main Campus:    Partial  (5 of 14 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Chico Center:   Partial  (7 of 14 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Glenn Center:   Partial  (3 of 14 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Online:         Partial  (13 of 14 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Dual Enrollment:       Partial  (1 of 14)  ← specialized center

WHAT EACH STATUS MEANS
  - "Yes"     — every required slot has reliable coverage at this location. A student can plan to take their major coursework here.
  - "Partial" — SOME required slots are reliably covered here, but not all. A student who wants to attend mostly at this location will have to combine it with another location or with Online for the gaps.
  - "GE only" — NO required slots are reliably covered here. The student can complete GE breadth here, but for the major's required courses they'll have to go elsewhere.

GROUND TRUTHS YOU MUST RESPECT
  - For Associate degrees, GE breadth requirements can be completed at ANY Butte center or online. That's a given for every Associate program — you don't have to belabor it, but you may briefly mention it when the student's location story for required courses is unfavorable.
  - When a Skyway-Center or Cosmetology-Center program shows "Yes" at its specialized center, LEAD with that — those programs are housed there by design, and the student should know to plan for being in Chico (NOT Oroville) for the bulk of their major coursework.
  - Don't tell a student to come to Main Campus when the program's specialized center has full reliable coverage. Main might still be useful for GE; the major work is at the specialized center.
  - "GE only" is NOT "Partial". Don't soften it. Say plainly the program's required coursework isn't taught there.
  - Online is a real option for some programs, but ONLY when its column is "Yes". Don't promise online completion based on "Partial".
  - Dual Enrollment coverage is an aggregate across participating high schools — at any single HS the available courses are typically far fewer. If you mention dual enrollment, mention that "what's offered at your high school will vary."
  - Even "Yes" is "has been reliably available recently" — future schedules can shift. The student should still meet with a counselor.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Two to three short, plain sentences in second person ("you can…", "you'll need to…"). Lead with where the major's required coursework actually runs reliably — that's what determines where the student has to be. Be honest, not promotional.

  - Do NOT list percentages or course counts.
  - Do NOT promise future schedules.
  - Do NOT use the words "completability", "completable", "AY", or "primary location".
  - Do NOT call a "GE only" location a place to "complete the program" — they can't.

OUTPUT
  Return ONLY the statement text. No preamble, no quotation marks, no markdown headers.

  Title: Entrepreneurship and Project Management

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Small Business/Entrepreneurship (AS Degree):
      You can complete all of your required coursework for this program online, which gives you solid flexibility. If you prefer some in-person classes, the Chico Center and Main Campus each offer a portion of your major courses, but you'd need to fill in gaps with online sections. Since schedules can shift, check in with a counselor to map out your specific plan.
  • Project Management (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all the required coursework for this certificate fully online. Some courses are also offered at Chico Center and Main Campus, but you'd still need to fill gaps with online sections. Since this is a certificate program, online is your most straightforward path—just check the schedule each term and connect with a counselor to map out your timeline.

      Most of the required courses for this certificate have been reliably offered at the Chico Center and online, but not everything you need is available at either location alone—you'll likely need to combine them to complete the program. Main Campus and Glenn Center don't reliably offer the required coursework, so plan on Chico Center and online for your major courses.
