San Diego Community College District

Call Directions Website

San Diego Community College District Continuing Education's Educational Cultural Complex (ECC) also offers classes leading to associate degrees and certificates.

The mission of the San Diego Community College District is to provide accessible, high-quality learning experiences to meet the educational needs of the San Diego community. The San Diego Community College District serves approximately 100,000 students each semester through three two-year colleges and seven Continuing Education campuses. The three colleges, San Diego City College, San Diego Mesa College, and San Diego Miramar College, offer associate degrees and certificates in occupational programs that prepare students for entry-level jobs, and arts and sciences programs that transfer to four-year colleges and universities. The Continuing Education campuses offer adults the opportunity to renew their learning experiences through noncredit vocational, basic skills, life skills, and enrichment classes at sites throughout the city. A number of special programs are unique to the city, including KSDS-FM all-jazz radio, the Center for Competitive and Applied Technologies, and the Workplace Learning Resource Center. The San Diego Community College District is governed by its five-member, locally elected Board of Trustees and three student members serving on a rotating basis. Shared governance activities involve faculty, students and staff in the development of solutions to key policy and budget issues. The five trustees are elected in even-numbered years to four-year terms by the voters of San Diego. The Chancellor, the District's chief executive officer, is responsible for carrying out the policies approved by the Board of Trustees.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and participated in yesterday's Fall Town Hall. The discussion on mental health and well-being was incredibly valuable.
One message came through clearly from every college and every perspective represented in the conversation: mental health support is not an add-on to student success. It is foundational to it.

"The Promise felt like joining a community. It wasn't just financial support; it was a built-in support system."
— Jillian Fortner, Miramar College and City College alumna
That's the power of the San Diego Promise.
When students know they're supported, they're empowered to achieve more than they ever imagined.

Education has the power to transform lives.
Through Keeping the Promise giving day, you help power student success and futures greater than they once thought possible. Your support helps power the San Diego Promise program, providing two years of free tuition and the guidance students need to thrive.

Take for example, Phillip Kist who said “I don’t know if I’d be here without the Promise. If so, it certainly would have been more of a struggle. The communication and direction provided through the Promise helped me understand higher education.” As part of the inaugural San Diego Promise class in 2016, Kist graduated from Miramar College on his way to becoming a drainage engineer for the Metro-North Railroad.
Because of your impact, our colleges are more than places of learning. They are places of hope, belonging, and possibility.
Join us in making sure the next generation of students are Powered by Promise.
