De Anza College is a public community college in Cupertino, California, United States. It is part of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, which also administers Foothill College in nearby Los Altos Hills, California. The college is named after the Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza.
Sitting in the heart of Silicon Valley in Cupertino, this well-regarded community college offers an affordable path to transfer or career entry, with notably low median debt of just $5,625 — a real advantage for cost-conscious students. That said, median earnings of $50,200 a decade out are modest given the high cost of living in the Bay Area, so students should be intentional about their transfer or career pathway rather than assuming location alone will boost outcomes. Worth considering if you're planning to transfer to a UC or CSU and want to keep debt low, but have a clear plan.
