District Overview

The Coast Community College District is a multi‑college district that includes Coastline Community College, Golden West College, and Orange Coast College. The three colleges offer programs in transfer, general education, occupational/technical education, community services, and student support services. The district enrolls more than 60,000 students each year in more than 300 degree and certificate programs.

Since its founding in 1947, the district has earned a reputation as one of the leading community college districts in the United States. Governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees, the DCF plays an important role in the community by responding to the needs of a changing and increasingly diverse population. The district is committed to equity, inclusive practices, and diversity.
