President's Message
Welcome to East Los Angeles College
Dear Student,
As you walk around campus you will notice ELAC’s state-of-the-art facilities and classrooms to maximize the potential of all of our students. Be assured that when you take a course here at ELAC you will be using the best technology available to support your academic needs.
We want all of our students to get the most out of their time here and achieve any goals they have. Our specialized programs can help students in many different ways. Our First Year Center collaborates with first-year students to assure they succeed by offering counseling and academic support.
The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement) programs at ELAC prepare our students to earn certificates, degrees, as well as transfer to and graduate from a four-year college or university with a degree in STEM. Both programs feature components to build an academically based peer community that provides student support and motivation.
Our knowledgeable faculty are committed to your success in the classroom. Our courses cover a wide range of subjects and are designed to keep you engaged and enhance your learning experience.
If you have questions about your academic goals, our counselors are here to help. They can provide you with an academic pathway to success to ensure you meet the necessary requirements for your degree, certificate, or transfer.
We at East Los Angeles College empower our students to achieve their educational goals, to expand their individual potential, and to successfully pursue their aspirations for a better future for themselves, their community and the world.
You have made a great decision to enroll at ELAC. Go Huskies!
Sincerely,
Alberto J. Román, DPA
President, East Los Angeles College
