Welcome to Pasadena City College,
home of the Lancers! I am so glad you"ve decided to learn more about all that"s going on at PCC! Whether you just graduated high school or you haven"t set foot in a classroom in years, we know you"re going to like what you see. PCC is unlike any other community college. Our campus and buildings are often compared to those of four-year universities, andour faculty are of the same caliber as those at some of our country"s nest institutions. But with the open access
and mix of courses found throughout the California community college system, PCC is truly a unique space.
We have more than 100 years of history, and we"re just getting started. We are consistently ranked at the top of
the nation"s community colleges - in fact, we"ve been named one of the top ten community colleges in the U.S. for
the past six years. For decades, students have come to our college to launch themselves into the four-year college
or university of their choosing, and our Pathways, Honors, and transfer of ces are just three programs that make
these individual achievements possible on a grand scale.Students here walk the same halls as some of the most distinguished people in our society. Jackie Robinson
(Class of 1939) broke Major League Baseball"s color barrier, and Octavia Butler (Class of 1968) rede ned science
ction from a Black/African American perspective. Esther Nishio (Honorary Class of 2008) was the rst Japanese
student to come back to college following her internment during World War II, and Jaime Escalante (Class of 1971)
taught Latinx students in Los Angeles how to love mathematics. Their stories inspire future graduates to follow in
their footsteps.I hope you enjoy reading this catalogue as much as we enjoyed putting it together. You can also visit our
website, www.pasadena.edu, to seek out even more information about our programs and services.Thank you again for getting to know us. Please know that my door is always open, and I look forward to learning
about your story and your hopes and dreams for your future. Your success is our success, and I can"t wait to see
what shape that takes.Onward Lancers!
Sincerely,
Erika Endrijonas, Ph.D.
Superintendent/President

PASADENA CITY COLLEGE
In 1924, in response to this community"s need for higher education facilities, one year of college work was added to the program offered by Pasadena High School. Soon after, another year was added. In 1928, Pasadena High School and Pasadena Junior College merged into a four-year junior college with grades 11 to 14 inclusive. By 1946, increased enrollment justi ed the establish- ment of a second four-year junior collegeJohn Muir. In1947 the of cial names of the two schools became Pasa-
dena City College and John Muir College. During the school year 1953-54, the Board of Education modi ed the school system organization from the 6-4-4 plan to the 6-3-2-2 plan and combined the two junior col- leges into a single college, Pasadena City College, to serve freshmen and sophomores. Thus, the present college is heir to the development of junior college-level work in Pasa - dena since 1924. In 1966, local voters in affected communities approved a greater Pasadena Area Junior College District, effective July 1, 1967. The name was changed to the Pasadena AreaCommunity College District on Sept. 10, 1970.
Embracing Change
PCC continues to offer state-of-the-art resources for its students and the greater Pasadena-area community. With voter-approved Measure P bonds totaling $150 million, PCC constructed a two-story Bookstore, Industrial Technol- ogies Building and parking structure, as well as renovated the two-story Campus Center to add a WiFi Lounge and new dining areas. PCC also constructed a 69,000 square-foot Center for the Arts facility, which houses an art gallery, recital hall, and theater. It also serves as the home of the Divisions of Performing and Communication Arts and VisualArts and Media Studies.

tinues to address the need for quali ed nurses in Califor - nia. The Artist-in-Residence program, which brings promi- nent professionals to work with and teach PCC students is offered regularly. Career education and academic programs have evolved with the times, supporting the development of radio and television, lmmaking, dentistry, computer science, jour- nalism, business, industrial and consumer-product design, manufacturing, home inspection, military and aviation science, music, fashion technology, laser technology, and much more.The Community Education Center showcases the Col-
