Fresno City College

Fresno City College (FCC or "Fresno City") is a public community college in Fresno, California. It is part of the State Center Community College District within the California Community Colleges system. Fresno City College operates on a semester schedule and offers associate degrees and certificates.

The process of starting Fresno City College began in 1907 with the superintendent of schools C. L. McLane advocating for higher education in the San Joaquin Valley. Fresno City College opened its doors in 1910 as Fresno Junior College with an inaugural class of 20 students and 3 instructors. At the time it was the first community college in the state of California and the second in the nation. It was located two miles south of today’s campus.

The college is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. It offers associate degrees and a certificate of completion. Students can also apply to and attend the on-campus Police Academy, a basic police officer academy accredited by California Police Officer Standards and Training.

The Fresno City College campus is located near the Tower District in downtown Fresno. A new secondary campus, located south of Edison High School, is scheduled to open for the Fall 2023 semester.
