The Office of Academic Affairs is also given the task for ensuring curricular program compliance with the standards and policies of the California State Department of Education, the Board of Trustees of the Los Angeles Community College District and various national accrediting agencies. Activities of the office focus on curriculum development and improvement, the creation of new programs, the appointment/reappointment of faculty and faculty development. Through the work of our deans, department chairs, and program directors we try to guarantee students a breadth and depth of classes in academics, job training and lifelong enrichment.
