About Monterey Peninsula College

Monterey Peninsula College (MPC) (Spanish: Colegio de la Península de Monterey) is a public community college in Monterey, California. Established in 1947, it was the first civilian postsecondary educational institution in the area surrounding the Monterey Peninsula. Until 1961 it was under the jurisdiction of the Monterey Union High School District. Today, it falls within the jurisdiction of the Monterey Peninsula Community College District and the California Community Colleges (CCC) system. Since 1961, the President of MPC serves in a dual capacity as the Superintendent of the MPCCD, with authority over MPC's satellite campuses. The main campus in Monterey is south of Lake El Estero, off of Fremont Street. Within the old territory of Fort Ord is the MPCCD's Fort Ord Center, a CCC-designated "Educational Center." Within the Fort Ord Center are the Monterey Peninsula College at Marina (MPC Marina), and the Seaside Public Safety Training Center (SPSTC). MPC's curriculum is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
