About the college

Back in September 1949 Los Angeles Valley College opened its doors for the first time. Class size was moderate and the classes were taught in bungalows. Located in San Fernando Valley gave the school the means to move to allow for its growing student body and in 1951, the school settled into its permanent campus location on Fulton Avenue. With a rich history and commitment to training students to possess critical thinking skills, the Los Angeles Valley College was here to stay.
