The City's College

Los Angeles City College (LACC) is the oldest of the Los Angeles Community Colleges, celebrating almost 90 years of educational excellence.

LACC provides a dynamic and innovative learning environment offering more than 100 vocational and professional programs including degrees, transfer programs, and certificates to more than 18,000 students. In 2019, LACC will celebrate its 90^th anniversary.

Under the LA College Promise, we offer one year of free enrollment to all full-time students graduating from LAUSD high schools and charter schools. We also offer music majors tuition free attendance, private lessons and financial aid thanks to a gift from The Herb Alpert Foundation. Additionally, our students benefit from a wide variety of financial aid options.

Start Here, Go Anywhere

LACC helps students transfer to competitive universities as juniors, enter high-paying jobs and enable them to advance in their careers.

Our alumni include notable educators; civic leaders and politicians; business leaders; Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winners; medical and technology professionals and a Nobel Laureate.

Our math and debate teams are nationally recognized and our theater and cinema-television programs are among the best in the country.
Our classroom experience is more intimate than large universities, and our smaller class sizes allow for more student/teacher interaction.
