Overview The Coast Community College District is a multi-college district that includes Coastline Community College, Golden West College, and Orange Coast College. The three colleges offer programs in transfer, general education, occupational/technical education, community services and student support services. Coastline, Golden West and Orange Coast enroll more than 60,000 students each year in more than 300 degree and certificate programs.

Since its founding in 1947, the Coast Community College District has enjoyed a reputation as one of the leading community college districts in the United States. Governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees, the District plays an important role in the community by responding to needs of a changing and increasingly diverse population.

The District is committed to quality education, equitable outcomes, inclusive practices, and racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity. Ideal candidates for all positions share our devotion to educating and improving the lives of our representative student, employee, and community populations.

Many colleges are designated Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI). The District engages in professional development opportunities and partnerships to best serve disproportionately impacted groups, including USC's Center for Urban Education; student and employee involvement in organizations like Puente, Student Veterans, and GLASA; a District Ally training program (UndocuAlly, SafeZone, Vet Net, Ability Ally); and other equity-minded programs, as well as a full calendar of culturally responsive events throughout the district.
