ABOUT EL CAMINO COLLEGE
El Camino College (ECC) is a vibrant two-year college. Our
community serves a diverse student population including new and
re-entering students and those pursuing certificate, degree, and
transfer goals.
The ideal candidate will share ECC’s commitment to educating
its racially and socio-economically diverse student population
including students with disabilities. We currently enroll
approximately 25,000 students each semester, the majority of
whom are from diverse populations. Over 50 percent of ECC’s
students are Latino/a, 16 percent are African-American, 15
percent are Asian, 13 percent are white, 5 percent are multiracial,
and less than 1 percent are Pacific Islander or Native American.
The successful candidate will join a department committed to
curriculum and practices that are responsive to the students it
serves and an institution dedicated to funding student scholarships
totaling $1.4 million annually.
Since 1947, ECC has served the cities of El Segundo, Hawthorne,
Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, Manhattan
Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance. As a single-college district,
ECC employs more than 900 full- and part-time faculty to teach
approximately 1,200 sections of pre-baccalaureate, transfer, and
career technical courses. Approximately 475 staff and
management employees also support student learning. Each
semester, the College offers 99 degree programs and 83 certificate
programs. ECC ranks among the top ten community colleges in
transfers with over 1,500 students transferring annually to four-
year universities around the country. Some of the top local transfer
institutions include UCLA, USC, CSU Dominguez Hills, and
CSU Long Beach. With a robust Transfer Alliance Program, ECC
is regularly among the top three community colleges in Southern
California for students admitted to UCLA.
Situated on a beautiful and spacious 126-acre campus in Torrance,
California within Los Angeles County, the campus is located just
minutes from South Bay beaches and surrounded by high-tech
industries including aerospace, logistics, multimedia, and service
corporations. The District has undergone a substantial
transformation campus-wide with the passage of general
obligation bond measures in 2002 and 2012. Over the next 10
years, capital construction projects, as well as new initiatives to
support student success, will position El Camino College well for
the future.
