Mt. Sierra College Introduction

Since then, the College has introduced new programs
in the Media Arts and Design department, including the
innovative Game Arts and Design program. The College
has also added two additional business degrees, Business
Administration and Entrepreneurship, as well as an
additional degree in technology, Information Security.
Pioneering the use of online technology, the College
developed its FlexLearn ® instructional delivery method,
introduced in January, 2002. FlexLearn ® means flexible
learning! Students may take a combination of distance
and campus-based courses in a format designed to cater
to the busy professional. Most of the College’s degree
programs may be completed fully online. Students may
also opt to complete most of their coursework on campus
in a traditional hands-on educational environment. If the
past is any indication of the future, Mt. Sierra College will
continue its pattern of innovative curriculum development.
A Quick Tour of the Campus
Mt. Sierra College has developed a campus that simulates,
as closely as possible, the environment in which students
will be working as they enter the professional world. Mt.
Sierra College moved to its current campus in the Spring
of 1999. The growth of the College has kept pace with
the steady growth of its educational programs and the
employment opportunities that exist for its students.
Mt. Sierra College offers over 30,000 square feet of space
dedicated to student learning. The College provides
laboratory and traditional classroom instruction in spacious
and efficient classrooms. Classes range in size from a
maximum of 50 students in some lower-division courses,
to as few as 5 students in many upper-division courses.
Classrooms and labs are networked using the latest in
wired and wireless technology. This connectivity gives
students and faculty easy access to software applications
provided by the College and worldwide access to the
Internet.
