Taft College is a public community college located in Taft, California, a small city in Kern County approximately 120 miles north of Los Angeles in the state's San Joaquin Valley. The campus, established in 1922 as part of the Taft Union High School District, occupies 39 acres in a rural setting and primarily serves students from California's Central Valley region. The college is known for its Dental Hygiene program and Energy Technology programs, which align with the region's oil industry presence.
