De Anza College Just like the ad of De Anza College at the corner of Stevens Creek Blvd & Stelling Rd. Cupertino, CA offers the classes you like. It is a green college in green community. The school offer what the community needs. It has great and interesting instructors, and lots of help for seniors, single parents and other struggling students to make it financially. De Anza’s programs like EOPS, CARE and financial aid to help students stay enrolled. I looked at the De Anza College web page of “Why makes the De Anza special?” 1). Exceptional transfer rate: It is always either #1 or #2 in the state for transfer rates to UC or USC colleges. 2). Top Animation Program. The Animation Program was listed as one of the top 15 classic-degreed animation programs on the country, according to Animation Magazine. 3). Top Athletes: Our 19 men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams have done so well in Coast conference competition that they earned the Bud Ottmar Award for 11 consecutive years. The instructors here are some of the best in
California’s community colleges because of their own education, and life experiences.
One of instructors is a Stanford and Harvard graduate, and because of this he really knows how to teach the class well, and another was an undercover cop for Los Angeles Police Department. There is an instructor that was the
former mayor of
Cupertino, and he teaches the Asian Experience class. Also, there is a well-organized and very supportive counseling department where you can make an appointment to meet with a counselor to seek help with your educational plan, and goals. They’re very good at helping you get on track and stay there.
There are shows and tours in college. The Flint Center for the Performing Arts, and the Euphrat Museum of Art, Minolta Planetarium and California History Center. I have seen the Star laser show at the Planetarium. There’s just so much to do at De Anza, and a lot of really good classes and instructors that I can’t see attending another community college! This place makes me happy, and so many students like it here. The above photo is from http://www.deanza.edu/athletics/ the De Anza won woman team Bud Ottmar Award 2008.
