 History 
The California Community Colleges were formally established in 1967 following the passage of the Donahoe Higher Education Act, which organized California’s higher education system into three segments: UC, CSU, and CCC. The system has since expanded and evolved to meet the needs of California's diverse population, adapting programs to include online education and career pathways aligned with workforce demands.

 Governance 
The California Community Colleges system is governed by the Board of Governors, which sets policy and provides direction under the leadership of the Chancellor. Local districts manage each individual college, enabling responsiveness to the specific needs of their communities while adhering to statewide standards.
