Madera Center

The Madera Center is located at the edge of the city of Madera on Avenue 12 east of Highway 99.  The Center provides an affordable, quality education for residents of Madera County and nearby communities.

History
State Center began offering classes in 1988 in partnership with Madera High School to meet the needs of the northern part of the District.  The Madera Center opened in 1996 on a 114-acre site donated by local landowners.  Our modern administration building located at the center of the campus includes a library, assembly hall, admissions and records, student services, and offices.  The newest addition to the site is a 50,000 square foot academic village complex that houses science, computer, and art laboratories in addition to a 150 seat lecture hall, classrooms, and administration and faculty offices.

Innovative programs help students meet diverse goals
Student success is the focus of the Madera Center with comprehensive, innovative programs in transfer/general education, occupational education, and developmental education.  Distance learning courses also are a priority, proving online courses and linking the Madera Center with other District sites.  The campus will develop over several years to serve a diverse student body and be the core of a 1,867-acre mixed-use community.
