Berkeley's Community College

Berkeley City College is in the heart of Downtown Berkeley, with our main campus located at 2050 Center. St. and the new BCC West campus extension at 2118 Milvia St. If you are a student or a parent who’s interested in Berkeley City College, a good way to learn more is by taking a guided tour of our campus with a student ambassador. Tours last about 90 minutes and meet at the Welcome Desk on the first floor of the main campus building (2050 Center St.). We look forward to introducing you to our community!
