The College has a long-standing history and memorable traditions of excellence in education, community volunteerism and philanthropy. Yet, there continues to be a need to balance history and tradition with innovation, flexibility, and nimbleness to move quickly to address the changing environment in which we live.

    Long Beach City College prides itself on its history of innovative thinking and strategic teamwork to help ensure that the College, and most importantly, the students achieve their goals. Notable innovations include The Long Beach College Promise, a groundbreaking partnership with Long Beach Unified School District (K-12), California State University, Long Beach, and the City of Long Beach. This effort includes an extensive set of intersegmental reforms aimed at increasing college preparation, access, and completion. Within this effort, local high school graduates who immediately enroll in Long Beach City College are afforded free tuition for one year, and subsequent priority access to California State University, Long Beach. The College's Economic and Workforce Development Programs provide training for good jobs and assist local small businesses through the Southern California Regional Center for Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and the Los Angeles Regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network. Working with its education partners, the College is also focusing on developing Career Pathway Programs to provide a highly qualified workforce for rapidly developing industries such as advanced manufacturing.

    From academics to entrepreneurship and athletics, Long Beach City College students have achieved remarkable success.
