History

Delgado Community College, located in New Orleans, Louisiana, was founded in 1921 and named for its Benefactor Isaac Delgado, a Jamaican Immigrant and businessman who provided the funds to open a manual trade school for young boys. Over time the mission and name of the school changed, expanding its offerings and role in the community until the mid 1970's when the school was transferred from city to state control and had its name changed to its current. Delgado is now Louisiana's oldest and largest community college, providing an array of programs across multiple campuses to serve the city of New Orleans.

Delgado Community College offers an array of programs that cover academic and vocational studies to assist residents in completing their educational and career objectives. Delgado offers certificate, diplomas, technical competency areas and associate degrees in a multitude of fields. Technical and career programs provide students with the education and skills necessary to successfully accomplish their duties within their area of study. Graduates of such programs will be able to immediately enter the workforce. Academic programs fulfill the first two years of a four year education, allowing for transfer to a four year institution to pursue a bachelor's degree upon completion.

  • This school is horrible. They never never never give you your financial aid or your student loans on time and when you call about the progress on them they never never never have anything real to tell you. This school is a joke. its really just a glorified high school. really sad. Most of the teachers don't even show up on time, but expect you to. There is zero headway for the students who is trying their best to make each class count, yet you have some teachers that teach you whatever they want, even if its not in the book or they tell you that the book is wrong! You can listen to all the other A and B reviews if you want to which by the way is written by the staff or you can listen to me an actual student! Go to another school!
