"I have learned how hard work pays off, how teamwork, dedication, a sense of humor and a positive attitude can bring about success.  These were valuable lessons."


Life Training

Because of Delta College’s small class sizes and excellent faculty drawn to
interdisciplinary team-teaching, students fully engage in collaborative,
hands-on learning. With Delta College’s commitment to skill development
and assessment, students develop a competitive edge in a highly cooperative
environment. Therefore, learning takes place within a supportive community geared toward developing academic excellence through teamwork.

 Central to this program is the emphasis on experiential learning. All Delta students engage in a series of three work experiences — at the local, national and international levels — which foster real world training along with their academic studies. Consequently, when Delta students graduate, they do so with a transcript, a professional portfolio and a résumé.

To achieve this, Delta faculty members are mentors and coaches when it comes to “learning how to learn.” The guiding philosophy of this program stresses that a contemporary education should be a reciprocal venture, with its success depending on meaningful interactions between students and professors. Group work is at the heart of Delta’s methodology and mirrors the reality of the working world. Leadership, therefore, is an essential component of this approach, and experience shows just how distinctive our graduates are.
