| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
Antelope Valley College has helped thousands of people reach their educational, career and personal goals since 1929. The college is noted for small class sizes and personal attention from faculty members and staff.
The campus has been likened to a park in Southern California's high desert, situated between the Angeles National Forest and Tehachapi Mountains about a one-hour drive northeast of Los Angeles. Scores of mature trees and plush lawns on the 125-acre campus provide an inviting place for students to relax. |
