Chaffey College is a public community college in Rancho Cucamonga, California, United States. It serves students in Chino, Chino Hills, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and Upland. It is the oldest community college in California.
As California's oldest community college, this Rancho Cucamonga institution offers an affordable path to transfer or career training for students across the Inland Empire region. The numbers tell a mixed story, though — median earnings of $36,700 a decade after enrollment are modest, so students should be strategic about which program they choose and have a clear plan for transferring to a four-year school or entering a higher-wage field. Worth considering if cost is a priority and you have a specific academic or career goal in mind, but go in with eyes open about long-term earning potential.
