Ventura College

4667 Telegraph Rd, Ventura, CA

Ventura College is located in Ventura California.  VC is a public two-year institution established in 1925 to provide education opportunities to resident with Ventura County. The school is one of three that comprise the Ventura County Community College District, the other two being Moorpark College and Oxnard College.

Ventura College is one of the 112 higher education institutions that comprise the California Community College System.  California CCS is ultimately responsible for establishing statewide standards and policies for two year institutions funded by public dollars. The school originally operated as part of Ventura Union High School until 1962 when the district was formally formed and the school became a separate entity.

Today the school continues to expand its three campus locations to better serve its growing student body.  Enrollment at Ventura College is in excess of 13,500 annually.  As such, the school administration invests in academic programs, facilities, and services to help the college remain current and relevant.

Academics

Ventura College offers a number of programs that allows students to pursue academic or career paths based on their personal and professional goals. Individuals seeking transfer opportunities will complete a program that mirrors the first two years of a four year education.  This includes general education courses with a focus on local education that is affordable in nature.  Graduates from VC can then apply to a four year institution to continue an education by earning a bachelor's degree.

Transfer to one of California's two public university systems is made easier through agreements in place that guarantee admissions if certain academic preconditions are met. Transfer to out of state or private institutions will have varying requirements and should be discussed with a counselor.

Career training programs provide education in a high demand field for the purposes of long term employment in that field as a qualified professional. Individuals will choose the path and program that best meets their interests.  VC offers programs from health care to business-related courses.  In addition, the school offers highly technical degree programs to help students learn career-focused skills that can be taken directly into a trade.  In either case, students will learn in class and via hands-on applications to blend the two learning modalities.

Practical courses allow students to engage in skill development and training for fields that require such under supervised and controlled conditions, ensuring quality and safety. Programs typically take between one and two years to complete, resulting in an associate degree or certificate.
