Cerritos College

Cerritos College is a public community college located in Norwalk, California, founded in 1955. It offers a diverse range of degrees and certificates across 87 areas of study. The college's history is tied to the local ranch Rancho Los Cerritos and played a role in the renaming of the city of Dairy Valley to Cerritos. The campus has undergone significant modernization, including the recent opening of new facilities for Math, Computer Information Sciences, and Fine Arts, funded by a $55 million bond. Notably, Cerritos College became the first community college in California to provide housing for students facing homelessness, reflecting its commitment to student support and community engagement.
