Welcome to Compton College—Where every student is a success story!

As we approach our Centennial in 2027, we are proud of our history and focused on the work ahead: helping students complete their educational goals, transfer to a university, earn a degree or certificate, prepare for meaningful careers, and improve their lives through education.

Whether you are a first-time college student, returning to college, preparing for transfer, developing new career skills, or pursuing lifelong learning, Compton College is here to support you. Our faculty, classified professionals, administrators, and student support programs are committed to helping you stay on track and reach your goals.

At Compton College, student success is our top priority. We know that higher education can lead to greater career opportunities, higher earnings, and stronger communities. That is why we continue to strengthen our academic programs, student services, and workforce training opportunities so students have the support they need to succeed.

Success also requires planning, persistence, and timely progress. I encourage each student to meet regularly with counselors, follow their educational plan, and take advantage of the programs, services, and incentives available to help them stay on track. Compton College is committed to helping students make steady progress toward their educational goals, complete degrees and certificates in a timely manner, transfer successfully, and move forward in their careers.

I encourage you to learn about the many programs, services, and opportunities available at Compton College. We are proud to serve our students and community, and we look forward to continuing this work as we celebrate 100 years of Compton College.
