About CoastlineCoastline Community College is located in Southern California (near Disneyland) and is a fully-accredited member of the California Community College System.

There are 112 California Community Colleges, but Coastline is unique in that it does not have just one centralized campus. Instead, it has three mini-campus-es in the cities of Garden Grove, Newport Beach, and Westminster. The college also has an administration building (housing the President’s Office, Admissions Office, Bookstore and more) in Fountain Valley, Cali-fornia.

International students of Coastline Community College may also choose to transfer to one of the two larger campuses in the district: Orange Coast College or Golden West College. Both offer the atmosphere and services of a traditional college campus. However, if they continue at Coastline Community College, they can take advantage of the one on one attention from staff and faculty. These campus options allow students to find their perfect campus fit.

Coastline offers Associate (A.A./A.S.) degrees, and all of the necessary courses for students wishing to transfer on to a four-year college or university.
