About This School

El Camino College is a public community college in Los Angeles County, California. Most of it is in Alondra Park, while a section is in the city limits of Torrance. It consists of 37 buildings spanning an area of roughly 26 acres (11 ha). It is one of two community colleges serving Southern California's South Bay area.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — with median earnings of just $36,900 a decade after enrollment, students should think carefully about whether their intended career path leads to higher-paying outcomes, since that figure is modest even for a transfer-focused school. That said, with nearly 19,000 undergrads and a prime location in the South Bay area of LA County, El Camino is a solid, affordable starting point for students planning to transfer to a UC or CSU, especially those who want access to a large campus community without the cost of a four-year school right away.
