About the College For more than 140 years, Chaffey College, a public two‑year community college, has provided affordable, quality higher education, workforce training, and cultural opportunity to the residents of the western Inland Empire. Since its founders George and William Chaffey laid the cornerstone in Ontario on March 17, 1883, the college has grown from a small agricultural school into one of the oldest and largest community colleges in California. Chaffey moved to its main Rancho Cucamonga campus location in 1960 and has since expanded with campuses in Fontana (1996) and Chino (2008). Additionally, Chaffey College opened the InTech Center (2016) in Fontana to provide the region with premier industrial and technical training.

Today, Chaffey serves more than 30,000 students, many who are first‑generation, working adults, parents, dual‑enrollment high schoolers, and career‑changers. They come to Chaffey for transfer, career and technical education, and workforce training that opens doors to economic and social mobility. A federally‑designated Hispanic‑Serving Institution, Chaffey has a diverse student body that mirrors the diversity of Southern California.

Mission Chaffey College improves lives and our communities through education with a steadfast commitment to equity and innovation to empower our diverse students who learn and thrive through excellent career, transfer, and workforce education programs that advance economic and social mobility for all.
