Long Beach On The Rise: Long Beach City College’s School Year Starts Strong

There’s no better time to become a Viking at Long Beach City College! A lot is happening at LBCC, including two tuition-free years for qualifying Long Beach Unified School District students, and the return of the trades.

Why LBCC?

Attending Community College isn’t a “second choice” – it’s the smart choice!

LBCC students find smaller classes, expert faculty, and enjoy two campuses with state-of-the-art facilities. LBCC is close to the 405, 710 and 605 freeways – making it easier on your commute. Let Long Beach City College be your partner to success all while enjoying the beautiful Southern California weather and just minutes from the beach.

One or Two Years Free!

As part of the Long Beach College Promise, qualified Long Beach Unified School District students are eligible for two tuition-free years if they enroll immediately after they graduate from high school.

Not a LBUSD student? Qualified California residents can still receive one tuition-free year at LBCC.

Earn an Associate Degree AND Transfer to a University

An Associate Degree for Transfer (AD-T) is a special degree offered at LBCC that gives students the opportunity to save time and money by:

  1. Earning an associate degree AND

  2. Guaranteeing a saved spot within the California State University system. This degree also makes it easier for LBCC students to transfer to the University of California system, Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCU) or other California colleges who are participating in the ADT program.

Ready to Start Your New Career or Advance in Your Current One?

LBCC is dedicated to providing you with the knowledge and skills you will need to be successful in your chosen profession.

LBCC’s Career Technical Education (CTE) department provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. CTE is filled with a variety of programs that make students career-ready once they complete their time at Long Beach City College. Some programs require as little as three classes. Some programs take two years. Many industries are looking for these highly-skilled graduates where labor demand is high.

There are also a number of certificate programs that provide the foundation for you to begin a new career, transition to a new job, or advance in your current career.
