The California Community CollegeHistory Project
A College for all Californians: TheHistory of CaliforniaCommunity Colleges
While scholars have written extensivelyabout the American community college system and the California Master Plan, none have specifically focused on California Community Colleges, the largest system of public higher education in the nation.
The League has embarked on a project, A College for all Californians: TheHistory of CaliforniaCommunity Colleges,to document the history of the California community college system. Thisinteractive timeline features the evolution of this prominent and influential postsecondary system of education and the political, economic, demographic, and cultural issues constituting its formation.For more information, download the flyer.
