LBCC is a two-year community college with cutting-edge, technology-rich learning environments, a diverse range of academic and career technical instructional programs, strong community partnerships, and economic and workforce development initiatives that prepare students for success in the twenty-first century.
Long Beach City College, one of the state's 114 community colleges, is managed by the five-member, elected Long Beach Community College District Board of Trustees and serves the cities of Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, and Santa Catalina Island. It provides a wide range of associate degree and certificate programs that prepare students for transfer to four-year universities, job progression, and personal development.
LBCC's educational programs are housed in four schools and include Career and Technical Education, Language Arts and Communication, Social Sciences and the Arts, and Health, Science, and Mathematics.
The college, originally known as Long Beach Junior College, began at Woodrow Wilson High School until the 1933 earthquake damaged the structure. Classes were held outside in tents at adjacent Recreation Park until 1935, when the college relocated to its current Liberal Arts Campus at Carson Street and Clark Avenue.
The college created traditions that are still in place today, such as the mascot, Ole, and the team moniker, Vikings, from its inception. In the first year, a student newspaper, yearbook, social services, and intramural programs were established. Academic accomplishments included having a national model library and the state's best junior college debating team. During the 1928-29 academic year, the team won Southern California championships in wrestling, baseball, men's and women's swimming, and the state championship in men's basketball.
During and after WWII, the college expanded fast, and in 1949, the Pacific Coast Campus, originally Hamilton Junior High, was added. As expansion continued in the early 1970s, more extension campuses and satellite locations were constructed. Because of state law, the institution withdrew from the Long Beach Unified School District and became the independent Long Beach Community College District, with its own locally elected Board of Trustees.
