Mt San Antonio College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Mt. San Antonio College (commonly called Mt. SAC; pronounced as the word "sack") is a community college located in the Los Angeles suburb of Walnut, California, next to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona which is just over a hill.

Mt. SAC was founded in 1946 as a part of the 109 member California Community Colleges system. It is the largest single-campus district with more than 27,000 (Fall 2006) full-time equivalent credit enrolled students, with a total enrollment of more than 40,000 (Fall 2006), exceeding even that of many of the nation's largest universities. The current president of the college is Dr. John S. Nixon, who joined the college in 2004. Its most recent past president is Dr. Christopher C. O'Hearn.

Overview

The school has a planetarium, horse range, and a track field. There is a new, modern baseball complex considered the best college baseball complex in California, a football field, a driving range, and a soccer field. It has an Olympic size swimming pool, tennis courts, and an equestrian range. The school also has a 15 acre Wildlife Sanctuary that supports a large variety of native species of birds, mammals, and insects. It consists of a lake, swamp, stream, pond, meadow, and forested area. It is one of the last "safe" places for nature to exist in Walnut due to over-development and over-population. Tours are given mainly to grade school children but are available to the public (minimum 15 people) if you contact the school and ask when Wildlife Sanctuary tours are available (909-594-5611). It also has a performing arts center, and a campus cafe (which serves Starbucks coffee, and has a Carl's Jr. restaurant within the campus of Mt. SAC.). There is an aviation and aircraft maintenance program. In many respects, it has the wide accommodation and mammoth size one would expect at a larger four-year establishment. The school already has programs in partnership with four-year schools to which students can arrange to receive a bachelor degree.
