About Ohlone College
Ohlone College is one of 109 community colleges in the State of California, which offer the associate degree or the first two years of study toward a bachelor’s degree. Many students then transfer to complete their four-year degree at a California State University, the University of California or private universities.

Ohlone College is an accredited college, accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Ohlone College is also authorized by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services to enroll non-immigrant students.
Located on a 534-acre hillside site above the northern reaches of Silicon Valley and the southern border of San Francisco Bay, Ohlone’s main campus is removed from industrial areas – but still convenient to food and retail services, residential areas, and major transportation corridors.
With 300 acres reserved for open space, the campus offers a peaceful and aesthetically pleasing learning environment. Natural features – black oak, chaparral, and seasonal streams – dominate the landscape and welcome wildlife along with academic life. Human-made structures are modeled on the early California missions, with red-tiled roofs, adobe-like walls, and numerous open walkways. Designed to compliment the hillside surroundings and to make getting around easy, campus buildings are arranged in clusters. At the center is the nine-building Academic Village, composed of classroom buildings dedicated to music, chemistry, computer studies, physics, art, business administration, allied health, and biology; two fully equipped lecture halls; the Hochler Student Center; Epler Gymnasium; and an Olympic size swimming pool.
Ward Blanchard Center, at the core of the Academic Village, houses the Learning Resources Center (the library). Here also are Admissions and Records, Counseling, Student Services, Administrative Services, Human Resources, the Transfer and Career Center, and the Tutorial Center.
Surrounding this center cluster are other College facilities, including the Gary Soren Smith Center for Fine and Performing Arts, the Morris and Alvirda Hyman Center for Business and Technology, the Early Childhood Studies Lab, Gallaudet University Regional Center, the Student Health Center, other faculty and business offices, and the athletic fields and facilities.
