Student demographics
Total Students: 23,409
El Camino College (Alondra/Unincorporated Los Angeles) is one of the most diverse campuses in the nation.
International students are required to show proof of English ability before being accepted into the school. Students can demonstrate their English ability either by taking the TOEFL test, or by completing an ESL program at a school with which El Camino College has a transfer agreement. This sort of agreement is also called "TOEFL Waiver".
KECC radio station
The first time KECC was actually on the air experimentally was Career Day, April 27, 1994. This operation lasted only four hours, from 9 am to 1 pm. On November 11, 1994, KECC signed on the air for the first time as a regularly scheduled carrier current broadcast station. At that time, the frequency used was 1620 kHz.
The station was soon involved in emergency operation when heavy rains flooded the campus in January 1995, during Registration. The campus police radio system had been submerged by the rising water and had shorted out. KECC being on higher ground was still operating and became a radio relay station, with the police phoning in problems and the broadcast staff relaying them.
In the fall of 2000 KECC changed frequency from 1200 kHz to 1500 kHz.
The Union
The school newspaper The Union was renamed from The Warwhoop as a result of pressure to be more politically correct and sensitive to Native Americans. The newspaper has won numerous awards.
Athletics
Built in 1958, Murdock Stadium hosts some of the schools athletic programs.
In media
El Camino College has been used as a filming location since at least the 1970s. Among recent movies shot in part at the College are:
