Introduction to LAVC and Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a great place to live, study and play! It’s the perfect setting for Los Angeles Valley College and it’s the perfect setting for you.

Imagine yourself in Los Angeles with the more than 19,000 students choose LAVC every year because it’s a great school and it’s in LA… You name it we’ve got it… excellent academic programs… and the beach… caring instructors… and every kind of entertainment you can imagine… transfer programs that can help you get into any college or university you can think of… and amazing shopping

Don’t just choose LAVC because we’re in Los Angeles. Choose LAVC because it’s the best choice for quality, variety and personal attention.

Variety. We’ve got what you’re looking for… we offer more than 100 occupational certificates, associate degrees and transfer programs to meet your educational goals.

Personal Attention. You’ll never get lost in a crowd here. Our classes are small and our faculty is dedicated to teaching.
