Overview

The nine colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District serve about 250,000 students annually. Overall, the District covers 882 square miles and serves 36 cities.

The colleges offer low-cost education to a diverse student body. More than 40% of all LACCD students are over age 25 and about 20% are 35 or older. About 65% of LACCD students are underserved minorities. 

The LACCD also is a leader in environmentally responsible construction. Thanks to its $6 billion Sustainable Building Program*, the LACCD is modernizing its colleges and building about 85 new structures District-wide that will meet LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards. In addition, the LACCD is generating solar power on its campuses and taking other steps to reduce the colleges' carbon footprint.

*The $6 billion total largely comes from three voter-approved measures: Proposition A: $1.245 billion; Proposition AA: $980 million; Measure J: $3.5 billion
