 Over
the past seventy-seven years we've served as educator to
more than three million students. Affordable, accessible
and practical, the LACCD offers opportunity to all. Our
doors are wide open for a diverse student population eager
for skills, knowledge and upward mobility. LACCD educates
almost three times as many Latino students and nearly four
times as many African-American students as all of the University
of California campuses combined. Eighty percent of LACCD
students are from underserved populations.
 Community colleges serve adults of all ages, meeting the needs
of a society where "lifelong
learning" is the rule and multiple careers and continual retraining are
the norm. More than half of all LACCD students are older than 25 years of age,
and more than a quarter are 35 or older. More than any other California system
of higher education, community colleges offer a first - and a second - chance
for anyone who wants to succeed.
