Professors

Current Student

I have really enjoyed my time at COS. It is a great place to start your college journey and will help prepare you for the next level of your education.

Current Student

I've been going to College of the Sequoias for the past 3 years, and it's been a really enjoyable experience! Many of the professors are great, they have really great associate and certificate programs for different professional fields.

Campus and vibes

Current Student

College of the Sequoias is a good local community college would recommend for people to go here for two years and then transfer to a university to save money, all professors and student are friendly and welcoming, overall great school.

Current Student

I’m currently a freshman and so far it has been good. Some professors are a pain in the butt but that’s basically every other school as well. Student life isn’t that good but that’s mostly because everyone who goes to COS lives near there so everyone just goes home.

Cost and value

Current Student

COS is a really amazing school. The college is incredibly helpful when it comes to financial aid, and it really helps because I don't have a lot of income coming in.
