Oakhurst Center

The Oakhurst Center of the State Center Community College District offers students the opportunity to receive an affordable, quality college education right in their own community.  The Center serves Oakhurst, Mariposa County, Coarsegold, North Fork and the surrounding communities with over 75 courses in a variety of study areas.

History
State Center opened a satellite campus of Reedley College in Oakhurst in the 1980's at Yosemite High  School.  In 1996, the Center moved to its present 2.5-acre site at Highway 41 and Road 426.  The Center is housed in four buildings in the heart of this Sierra foothill community adjacent to the Oakhurst branch of the Madera County Library.

Education opportunities for a growing community
As the community has grown, so have the number of class sections offered at the Oakhurst Center.  Students now can earn an Associate Degree and earn most units required to transfer to a four-year college or university.  To meet students' requests to complete degree requirements locally, more distance learning courses are available; including two-way interactive television delivery with CSUF and SCCCD sites and online courses.  The Center includes a new science classroom, additional parking, and increased course sections.
