School Notes
Fullerton College is a public, two-year community college governed
by a Board of Trustees under the laws of the State of California.
It was established in April, 1913, when the governing board of
Fullerton Union High School approved a motion that a two-year
postgraduate course be added to the curriculum. The new Junior
College - for such it was called from the beginning - opened in
September, 1913, with 26 students and a curriculum of 10 courses.
In 1922 the college was reorganized as an independent junior
college district. After holding classes on the Fullerton High
School campus for its first 23 years, the college began moving to
its own fourteen acre campus next door in 1936. Since offering its
first classes in 1913, Fullerton College has grown to become one of
the most successful community colleges in the nation. The
foundation of Fullerton College's success is the uniquely talented
and dedicated faculty, administrators and staff who share a
commitment to high academic standards, comprehensive opportunities
for students and individual attention to student needs. Fullerton
College offers a comprehensive array of academic programs with 90
majors leading to the A.A. or A.S. degree in both academic and
vocational subjects, as well as 68 programs leading to vocational
certificates. Fullerton College also enjoys one of the highest
transfer rates in the state sending graduates to the University of
California, California State University campuses and other
institutions of higher education. In addition to excellent programs
and services, Fullerton College offers a truly collegiate
environment. The college's 18,000 students enjoy numerous
extracurricular activities in student government, the campus
newspaper, championship intercollegiate athletics, performance
groups in theatre and music, cultural groups and media production
in radio and television broadcasting, to name a few.
