Established in 1949, Contra Costa College (CCC) is the oldest and most diverse of the three colleges in the Contra Costa Community College District. Its campus, accentuated by Wildcat Creek, rests on 83 acres of beautiful natural landscaping in the rolling hills of San Pablo and Richmond. A proud Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), CCC’s superior faculty and staff cultivate a premier learning environment that annually serves over 10,000 predominantly Latinx, African American, and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students. CCC has been the only institution of higher learning in the West County area since its opening in 1949. It has been key to the well-being and prosperity of this socioeconomically diverse, resilient, and culturally vibrant community. The General Education, Science Center, and renovated athletics buildings that West County voters have overwhelmingly supported through generous bond measures are vital additions that support student success and improve the communities' quality of life.
