Ohlone College

Situated in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area, Ohlone College operates two campuses in Fremont and Newark, California, with its main campus set on 534 acres in the Mission Hills. The college, established in 1965 and named after the indigenous Ohlone people who originally inhabited the region, features modern facilities spread across a hillside setting with panoramic views of the bay. The Fremont campus includes notable programs in health sciences, particularly its nursing and respiratory therapy programs, along with a strong performing arts department housed in the Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts. Students can access academic and career training programs through both traditional semester-length courses and accelerated formats, though the institution primarily serves commuter students with limited on-campus housing options.
