Design and Build Your Future

The engineering and design fields are growing in California and across the globe—and you can be part of this growth with or without a bachelor’s degree. CCLA’s associate degree and certificate programs will prepare you with the math, science, and technology skills to enter the workforce immediately after you graduate. Or, you can transfer to a four-year institution for the final two years of a B.S. in engineering program, having saved thousands on the first two years.
