City College is located in downtown San Diego. The 60-acre (24 ha) campus consists of 40 buildings, and is adjacent to Balboa Park, the I-5 freeway and San Diego High School. Courses are provided in general education, lower-division transfer programs, and occupational and developmental education.

Academics[edit]

The college offers 250 majors and certificate programs and 1,500 classes each semester to more than 17,000 students.[1]

Campus safety and security[edit]

While the campus is a relatively safe campus for students to study at, security on campus was called into question when a student was murdered on campus in October 2010.[2][3] The campus murder prompted administrators to re-evaluate campus security planning, which looked at adequacy of lighting, the availability of panic buttons, and other security measures.[4]
