About
West Hills College – Lemoore, located in Lemoore California, is one of two campuses that together form West Hills College. The Lemoore campus was built in 2002 to serve residents of the San Joaquin Valley. The Lemoore campus boasts one of the most advanced libraries in the state alongside a state of the art research facility known as the collaboratory, a cooperative laboratory system that is quickly being replicated elsewhere. The school also offers videoconference lectures from California State University, Fresno, and on site bachelor degree programs from Fresno Pacific University.
Academics
WHC Lemoore currently offers a smaller selection of programs than the Coalingo campus. The programs offered by the Lemoore campus can result in a certificate or associate degree. Students pursuing transfer to a four year institution can find transfer opportunities through the school. Additionally, some programs are designed to prepare individuals through vocational training for immediate entry in a career after graduation.
Programs offered include:
