General Description/Summary

About Citrus College

Celebrating more than 100 years of service, Citrus College is located in Glendora in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, approximately 25 miles northeast of metropolitan Los Angeles. The college has the distinction of being the oldest community college in Los Angeles County and the fifth oldest in the state.

Citrus College was founded in 1915, with an enrollment of 27 students, under the leadership of Dr. Floyd S. Hayden, who helped bring the community college movement to California. From 1915 to 1961, the college was operated by the Citrus Union High School District.

In July 1961, the Citrus Community College District was created to include the Azusa and Glendora Unified School Districts. In 1967, the district expanded to include the Claremont, Duarte and Monrovia school districts.

Today, Citrus College occupies a 104-acre campus and offers classes on a 16-week calendar (fall and spring semesters), as well as a variety of non-traditional scheduling options - winter session, evenings, summer sessions, and optional class formats, such as hybrid and online education courses.

Mission
Citrus College provides quality educational experiences that support our students in achieving their academic, professional, and personal goals, empowering them to make positive impacts on their communities and beyond. Citrus College faculty and staff take pride in being student-centered and in cultivating a safe, caring, compassionate, and inclusive lifelong learning environment. Our college community welcomes students from all backgrounds and ensures that they have the opportunity to achieve upward social and economic mobility.

Citrus College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, 10 Commercial Blvd., Suite 204, Novato, CA 94949, (415) 506-0234, an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.
