About Delgado Community College

Delgado Community College (DCC) is a public community college in Louisiana, United States, with campuses throughout the New Orleans metropolitan area. Its current campuses are in New Orleans (Orleans Parish) and Jefferson Parish. The original City Park Campus is located in the Navarre neighborhood, adjacent to New Orleans City Park. Delgado Community College is one of nine community colleges which operate under the auspices of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System. The institution originally opened in 1921 as Delgado Trades School; it went through several reorganizations and was finally named Delgado Community College by the Louisiana State Legislature in 1980, under the administration of Governor David C. Treen. The maps of Louisiana's Technical and Community Colleges indicate that Delgado's service area includes New Orleans and Jefferson, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. Tammany parishes. A Delgado Community College document stated that, in addition, Lafourche, St. Bernard, and Terrebonne parishes are in its service area.
