Founded in 2004, Angeles College has equipped hundreds of students with the skills needed to succeed in the challenging and gratifying field of healthcare. While offering the most up-to-date training in the fastest growing careers, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment with small class sizes and experienced instructors, ensuring each student has the opportunity to succeed.
Throughout the years, AC has grown quickly, expanding both its curricula as well as its locations. In 2013, the Los Angeles based main college opened its City of Industry satellite campus. Since this time the College has expanded its Mission Statement to include programs outside of the Healthcare niche.
As the school grows, Angeles College will continue to provide excellent training and support to students, preparing them for successful careers in the healthcare field.
