About 
Citrus College, located in Glendora, California, was founded in 1915 and is the oldest public community college in Los Angeles County. The school is a public two year institution offering technical and academic educations. The Citrus Community College district is comprised of the cities of Glendora, Charter Oak, Duarte, Azusa, Monrovia and Claremont, which together are the service area for Citrus College. Citrus College enrolls over 12,000 students a year and has one of the highest rates of transfer to four year institutions in the region. Citrus College is currently undergoing an expansion of its facilities as part of its continued goal of maintaining educational excellence for its students. 
 
Academics
Citrus College offers degree and certificate programs in a large number of fields to fit the needs of its service community. Certificate programs are generally short term programs that provide training for specific, typically high demand, fields. Technical programs are also career oriented, but are also comprised of general education requirements that result in the awarding of an associate degree. Both technical and certificate programs prepare students for work after graduation, having developed the skills necessary to perform required tasks at the entry level. Academic programs generally fulfill the first two years of a four year education and allow for transfer to four year colleges or universities after graduation to pursue a bachelor's degree.
 
Programs offered include:
 
Admissions and Financial Aid
Students who are high school graduates or have a GED,  are eighteen years of age and can demonstrate that an education will prove beneficial, high school students in their junior or senior year and international students with a student visa are all eligible to attend Citrus College. There is no application fee and the application must be submitted electronically, resulting in an admissions email. Due to the large number of students in attendance some classes may be filled when enrollment begins and a wait list system is available online allowing students to register late if someone leaves the class. Financial aid is available through loans, grants, scholarships, and work study programs. Individuals must complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility and awards.
