About This School

San Joaquin Delta College is a public institution located in Stockton, California with approximately 13,964 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $1,288 per year. Typical graduates earn $36,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

San Joaquin Delta College is a public community college in Stockton, California. It was founded in 1935 as Stockton Junior College. The college serves a district area that includes all of San Joaquin County and parts of Alameda, Calaveras, Sacramento, and Solano counties.

With roots going back to 1935, this large Stockton-area community college serves over 13,000 students across a wide regional district, making it a practical and affordable entry point for transfer or career training. The debt picture is genuinely encouraging — graduates leave with just $7,500 in median debt, which is low by any measure. That said, median earnings of $36,600 a decade after enrollment are modest, so it's worth being strategic about your program choice if income growth is a priority.
