MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Students: Thank you for choosing Santa Ana College. At SAC, we are dedicated to providing you with the programs and services to assist you in achieving your educational and career goals. Our schedules and classes are designed to meet your needs, and we have more than 300 subjects leading to the associate degree in science or arts or vocational certificate of competency. Despite budget constraints, you can be assured of our commitment to students. We believe that community colleges are vital, now more than ever, to educate and train a workforce in this new economy. Our increase in average student load last year attested to the need for higher education services and we are responding by meeting these needs in the most efficient and fiscally conservative manner possible. We pride ourselves on the accomplishments of our students. The achievements of our alumni can be seen in areas such as business, public service, science and technology. We hope that you enjoy your experience at SAC and that you will be inspired to stay connected to us and help reach future generations of leaders. SAC is your college. We look forward to providing you with an exceptional educational experience. See you around campus!
