College of the Desert was established on April 15 of 1958, when the initial five member Board of Trustees was elected.
Students who attend COD may expect to transfer, complete degrees and certificates, prepare for the workforce, and acquire a general education that enables them to be well-rounded, productive citizens. To assure students’ learning success, they assess student learning needs, establish academic and vocational courses and programs appropriate to those needs, determine the effectiveness of those courses and programs, and implement changes to improve student learning.
COD is a two-year, public institution that provides lower division academic, vocational, and basic skills education. They are a successful college because we make decisions based on a systematic assessment of the needs of the community and the application of our core values.
