Since the opening of El Camino College nearly 60 years ago, the schools has exemplified dedication to serving its community's educational and cultural needs. As one of California's two-year colleges, El Camino College is well known among California colleges for our academic excellence, our consistently high transfer rate to four-year California colleges and other schools throughout the country, and our exceptional career training programs.

As El Camino College mushroomed from an enrollment of fewer than 500 in 1946 to nearly 25,000 students today, the curriculum expanded to include lower-division courses as well as an honors program and numerous vocational programs. Today, El Camino College students enjoy a broad curriculum featuring nearly 2,500 different classes offered in some 850 different programs. With more courses available during a variety of class times, including online and telecourses, students have wide flexibility in individual scheduling.
