HISTORY
Monterey Peninsula College commenced its operation in September of 1947 on the campus of Monterey High School, holding classes from 4 to 10 p.m. daily. During this first year 87 acres
4 of land were purchased on Fremont Street. The following September classes opened in converted barracks buildings with 280 students and 20 faculty members. The campus was originally designed for approximately1,000 students, but by 1957 the enrollment had approached this figure and it was evident that new buildings were necessary. The engineering building was constructed in 1958, the library in 1960, and the art and music center and swimming pool in 1962.The junior college separated from the Monterey Union High School District in 1961 and became a separate junior college district. With this reorganization, the Carmel Unified School District became part of the Peninsula-wide junior college district. The student population continued to grow as well as the need for additional classrooms. In 1965 the building program was renewed, and the “temporary” buildings of 1948 were replaced with new buildings for business, humanities, life science, physical education, physical science and social science. The lecture forum, the college theater, and the college center were part of this campus renewal. In 1973, the college began operating a satellite campus at Fort Ord in cooperation with the U.S. Army primarily for the benefit of Armed Forces personnel and their family members. In 1982-83, Monterey Peninsula College was selected as the site for the Maurine Church Coburn School of Nursing, established with a grant from the Maurine Church Coburn Charitable Trust under the leadership of Milton C. Coburn. The school is operated through proceeds from that grant administered by the Community Hospital Foundation, which owns and operates Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula and the Community Hospital Recovery Center. During August, 1988, the engineering building was remodeled with funds from the Community Hospital Foundation to house the School of Nursing. Monterey Peninsula College is part of California’s public community college system of 108 campuses in 72 districts across the state. It is a comprehensive community college that responds to the educational, cultural, and recreational needs of community members, insofar as its resources permit. The college serves the communities of Big Sur, Carmel, Carmel Valley, Del Rey Oaks, Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Presidio of Monterey Annex, Sand City, and Seaside. Monterey Peninsula College classes are held on the main campus during Fall and Spring semesters, Early Spring, and Summer sessions.
