As a student at San Jose, you can choose from a comprehensive range of general education programs and courses required for transfer, or a variety of technical and occupational courses leading to employment or career advancement.
From its modest beginnings in 1921, San José City College has grown into a world-class institution and is one of the Silicon Valley’s premiere institutions of higher education. Enrolling approximately 12,000 students each semester, our diverse student population contributes to an inviting, dynamic, and global environment.
