Cañada College Named One of California's Top 25 Community Colleges

In a special report on California's community colleges, Schools.com rated Cañada College as one of the state's Top 25.

In describing the school, the website said, "Cañada College proves that big things really can come in small packages. Not only is Cañada College one of the state's leading community colleges in terms of completion and transfer rates, but this relatively small campus is one of the few nationally to offer bachelor's degrees through its University Center."

Other schools on the list include Ohlone, City College of San Francisco, Las Positas, De Anza, Cuesta, Sierra, Santa Barbara, Foothill, Southwestern, Cabrillo, Golden West, Santa Ana, Cosumnes, Reedley, Siskiyous, San Diego, Irvine Valley, Pasadena, Chaffey, San Diego Mesa, Columbia, Monterey Peninsula and College of the Canyons.
