About College of the Canyons

Established in 1969, College of the Canyons is celebrated as one of California’s most innovative community colleges. Across two expansive, modern campuses—the 153-acre Valencia Campus and the 70-acre Canyon Country Campus—the institution delivers high-demand curriculum spanning mathematics, biological and physical sciences, nursing, advanced manufacturing, computer science, cinematic arts, culinary arts, architecture, business administration, and public safety. Through the Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook University Center, students can also earn bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees from partner four-year universities directly on the COC campus. With extensive transfer agreements through AD-T (Senate Bill 1440), Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAG) with UC campuses, Honors programs, robust international student services, and comprehensive support including the Canyons Promise, COC provides world-class higher education at an accessible, state-mandated tuition rate of $46 per credit unit.
