Solano Community College (SCC)
is a tradition in Solano County. Established in
1945 as Vallejo Junior College, Solano was part of
the Vallejo Unified School District until 1967
when the College became a countywide institution.
The 192-acre campus, centrally located just off
Interstate 80 in Fairfield, was completed in 1971
and opened with 5,000 students. Since then,
facilities, programs, staff and services have
expanded to meet the growing needs of a growing
county. The College’s service area encompasses
the communities of Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield,
Suisun, Vacaville, Vallejo and Winters, as well as
Travis Air Force Base. SCC operates Centers in
Vacaville,
Vallejo and
Travis Air Force Base. Many graduates of the
area’s fifteen public high schools and three
private schools take advantage of the educational
opportunities offered by Solano Community
College. With the current student population of
11,000 almost evenly divided between day and
evening, the Solano College campus is alive at all
hours offering academic study and occupational
training to all area residents. |
