School Notes
Citrus College is a Public Community College serving the
communities of Azusa, Bradbury, Claremont, Duarte, Glendora and
Monrovia. It is accredited by Western Association of Schools and
Colleges. The college enrolled 28 students in 1915 and currently
the college serves more than 12,000 students each fall and spring
semester. The Citrus College Lifelong Learning Center was designed
with career training in mind. With the addition of classrooms,
labs, computers and office machinery, the new building serves as
the base of operations for the Continuing Education and CalWORKs
programs.
No matter where you choose to go to college you'll have to take some kind of standardized test. The GRE is often required for graduate programs, but it may also benefit your community college application.
Education becomes more expensive with each passing year so it is important to make smart use of your student loans and to minimize your debt while you are in school whenever possible.
