If there’s one common thread that students say about College of the Canyons it’s that
it doesn’t feel like a community college. And with good reason.
For the past 45 years, College of the Canyons has continually redefined what it means to
be a community college. And in tough economic times, its even more important to provide
the best in relevant, timely, and comprehensive education and training in the subject areas
that students need.
With more than 100 degree and certificate programs, students will find what they need
to help them prepare for a new career, to update their skills, or to prepare to transfer
to a four-year university. In this capacity COC has excelled, as year after year the college
has ranked at or near the top in Los Angeles County in transfer rates to four-year schools,
including to Cal State, UCs and private four-year universities.
To reach these impressive marks, College of the Canyons has committed to providing the
services that students need to succeed, and to graduate, including providing a haven for
studying in the newly expanded Library and Learning center; full-service internship,
work study and service learning programs for students who want to take the extra step;
a veterans’ office to assist our returning service men and women; and much more.
Our Financial Aid office stands ready to assist students prepare for the expenses involved
in attending college, including using grants, Fee Waivers, scholarships and student loans.
Student life is also extremely important at COC. More than 40 active clubs and student
groups thrive at COC, as well as an active student government, and 16 intercollegiate
athletic programs, which have seen alumni transfer to numerous Division I schools across
the country, as well as play in the NFL, and in Major League Baseball.
