Although some of our students attend other institutions (Orange Coast Community College, The Art Institute, FIDM, Chapman, etc.), the majority of our students attend Saddleback College in Mission Viejo. Saddleback College offers a wide variety of core curriculum as well as many certificate programs, such as drug and alcohol studies.

 

Saddleback College President’s Message:

 

Over the past 38 years, Saddleback College has grown to become one of California’s finest community colleges. Our high-tech learning centers, rigorous academic curriculum, distinguished and talented faculty, and strong student support services are all a part of a learning environment that is stimulating, challenging, and nurturing. Saddleback College’s Honors Program provides an exciting curriculum that guarantees transfer admission to a University of California. The excellence of our programs and faculty is demonstrated by the success of our alumni in their academic pursuits at four-year universities and in the professional world.

 

Saddleback College has always considered the transfer function to be the “heart” of the institution and is consistently ranked in the top ten percent of California Community Colleges in transferring students to four-year colleges and universities. In fact, according to a study of a 1995 to 2001 cohort by the State Chancellor’s Office, Saddleback College had the highest transfer rate of all community colleges from Ventura to the Mexican border. The number of transfer students continues to increase and new programs of articulation and dual enrollments will continue to support our students in these endeavors. Graduates of our professional technical certificate programs quickly discover that their state-of-the-art training makes them highly competitive leaders in the job market.*
