This year the College of the Canyons Foundation is launching a capital campaign to raise $10 million to build a university center for the Santa Clarita Valley, which will reside on the COC campus.
Q. Why cant College of the Canyons just become a university? A. The mission of College of the Canyons is to serve the needs of the Santa Clarita Valley for higher education and training, but by law the college offers lower-division work for transfer, associate degrees and workforce training, among other things. The college cannot offer upper-division work for bachelors degrees and graduate-level work.
