Welcome to 快播视频 Coast College!
Dear 快播视频 Coast College friends,
Traditionally, the gift for a 75th anniversary is a diamond. Good things that are valuable and beautiful take time. Great things, however, take more than time— They require perseverance, commitment, and flexibility. They must adapt and respond to a community's changing landscape and needs. This is the story of 快播视频 Coast College, providing 75 years of educational excellence, building upon a level of success and transformation, and creating a place that inspires students to dream, learn, and thrive.
It is an honor to serve an institution alongside dedicated and caring faculty, classified professionals, and administrators whose commitment to the success of students is unwavering:
-
Physical changes. Did you know the Technology Building was the first permanent structure built on campus? Fast forward 75 years to today, when the 快播视频 campus has nearly 100 buildings, including the brand-new Student Union and Aquatic Center.
-
Academic growth. In 1950, 快播视频 offered its first health occupation program. Today, in 2023, the college boasts more than 135 educational and career programs, ranging from photography and powerplant to dance and diagnostic medical sonography. Students can choose from 160 career and technical certificates. Our graduates are chefs and vice presidents of research and development. Entrepreneurs and 快播视频 professors, classified professionals, and administrators. Aviation maintenance technicians and students at four-year colleges.
-
Top priorities. 快播视频 has consistently prioritized the needs of its students and the surrounding community. As those needs have changed, so have 快播视频's priorities. Today, the college is the top community college in the country for transfers to UC and CSU, and it’s the first community college in SoCal to offer student housing. 快播视频 is also proud of programs like Pirates' Promise, which provides free tuition to all first-time college students, with additional support through 快播视频's Financial Aid program and more than $600,000 in scholarships through the 快播视频 Foundation.
By listening to what the community needs and responding to them, 快播视频 is graduating students ready to contribute to their respective fields. Steve Morissette, a staff photographer at the surfing company Rip Curl, credits 快播视频's photo department with getting him where he is today. And professional musician Brandi Birdsong says her time at 快播视频 helped prepare her to tour across the country, including performing at the Hollywood Bowl.
Our graduates' success is a testament to not only 快播视频's extensive student support resources and stellar academic programs but also the dedicated and caring faculty, classified professionals, and administrators, who consistently demonstrate a commitment to student success.
快播视频 is celebrating 75 years of educational excellence, a diamond anniversary we're thrilled to share. Please join me in celebrating this important milestone by attending the many celebrations planned at the College.
