What Students Are Saying
Great campus! Small class sizes ensure a personal experience in classes. I'm in it for the fire academy but I'm just as impressed with every other class I've taken.
Kenneth from Rescue, CA
The College of Siskiyous has an exceptional online educational system in which it allows the students to earn a degree from virtually anywhere. The professors chosen to teach online courses have left an impressionable mark that helps motivate me to continue my education. Fees for classes are inexpensive and reasonable, and there is always staff available to answer your questions.
