Welcome

Welcome to Delta College! As one of America's leading community colleges, Delta is a great place for you to "think big."

You are here at an exciting time in our history as we continue to grow and invest in the Great Lakes Bay Region. Delta will begin offering classes at a brand new downtown Saginaw location in the Fall 2019 semester, and plans to open a new downtown Midland facility next year. These are just the latest chapters in a story that began in 1961 with a commitment to provide an affordable education, a skilled workforce and the means to think big about your future. 

Whatever your goals, at Delta you’ll find the resources and support network to get you there. Our classrooms and labs are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, so you learn using the same tools and equipment you’ll use on the job. In fact, Delta consistently rates as one of the top tech-savvy colleges in the country. But I think you’ll find that it’s the people at Delta who will really make the difference. From faculty and staff who are here to help you succeed in the classroom, to counselors and advisors who will assist you in career planning and in class scheduling, you’ll connect with many individuals who will go above and beyond to help you on your journey.

Also, while you are at Delta, I encourage you to join one of the many student organizations on campus to get the most out of your college experience. Take advantage of opportunities to enhance what you learn in class through Quality Public Broadcasting, the Planetarium and Corporate Services.

Delta is proud that 97 percent of our graduates in the past five years have remained in Michigan, and 83 percent have stayed in the Great Lakes Bay Region to fuel our local economy. You’ll find Delta graduates working as nurses, teachers, doctors, business leaders and skilled trades people.

All of them came to Delta with a dream. Now we’re excited to help your dream come true.

Dr. Jean Goodnow
President
