With over 22,000 students of all ages and a host of programs, you'll find a dynamic educational environment and a lively atmosphere at DVC. After World War II the land was subdivided into housing tracts, and on October 5, 1950, the College Board of Trustees purchased the DVC site for $172,500. In 1844, the Mexican government granted the land to William Welch, and it became part of his huge Rancho Las Juntas, which included northwestern Walnut Creek, all of Pleasant Hill, and the northeastern half of Martinez. A brief history of our land shows us that this was originally home to the Costanoan Indians. Another report, released by the California Post-secondary Educational Commission, shows that DVC ranked number one in transfers in the state, ahead of all other California community colleges. Research figures recently released by UCLA's Center for the Study of Community Colleges show that DVC's transfer rate to four-year universities is 67 percent higher than the national average. DVC is not only recognized as one of California's best community colleges, but it also leads the state in transfer to four-year institutions. A million students later, enrolling at DVC is one of the best ways you can ensure acceptance at a four-year college.

As we salute our heritage, we look forward to serving one of Northern California's most dynamic, education-minded areas for another 50 years. We've come a long way since those humble beginnings.
