BACKGROUND
American Career College is an educational institution providing excellence and a supportive community to help you achieve that change. They are committed to providing the best possible facilities, faculty, and student services that allows students to excel in their health care career of choice, and become fully prepared for the working world. ACC cannot guarantee the securing of positions, however, the Career Services Department will equip students with the tools to find and maintain desirable employment.
Founded as American College of Optics, the school was incorporated in California in 1978 and devoted exclusively to the optical dispensing profession. In 1985, the college moved to Wilshire Boulevard, and four years later relocated to its present facility in Los Angeles, California.
In September 1990, the college expanded its curriculum to include the Pharmacy Technician program and changed its name to American College of Optechs. Over the next decade, the college continued to expand its curriculum to include additional specialized allied health programs, and because of the school’s broader offerings, its name changed permanently to American Career College in 1993. In 2008, American Career College expanded its level of offerings to include two allied health care programs culminating in an Associate of Occupational Science degree: Respiratory Therapy and Surgical Technology.

The Anaheim Campus has free daily parking available around the campus. Students may be transported to and from the buildings by shuttle.
