City College of San Francisco

Imelda Mangubat ][ City College of San Francisco is made up of a culturally diverse student body and faculty. As the school is seated in the midst of a great city of liberal ideas and openness, CCSF tries to educate the masses on the different ethnicities represented in the city. We've long held an African American Studies department and the Latin Studies department is expanding. An updated Asian American Studies department is growing with a new Philippine Studies department that is gaining community and student support. Language studies in Thai, Vietnamese and Farsi are offered in our Continuing Education courses. New courses are being offered in Indian economics and politics. All aspects from history, economics, women's studies, politics, language, creative and visual arts are explored in the different departments. In all departments, we have strong school clubs who are active in the community, cooperating with other schools, as well as petitioning the school instituting measures to bring these kinds of courses to the curriculum. The clubs bring the information to the students on a more one-on-one basis that fliers and the catalog advertising the classes just can't do. Administration actively helps to get these courses approved for transfer credit to the state universities and available at more agreeable times in the schedule to encourage interest. We have great programs and they are constantly being improved and updated.
