About the college
When it was founded in 1961 this private college was called Stenotype School of Long Beach. It then moved to Westminster in 1974, and the name was changed to Whitley College. In 1980 Whitley College and Orange County College of Court Reporting merged and thus became South Coast College. This college prepares students for careers in medical and legal fields. Every year they improve their courses to meet the needs of the ever-changing world and career paths. South Coast College believes that concentrated training in one field will lead to other types of education besides chosen field.
