A national publication has listed Citrus College as one of the country's leading community colleges.

For the 11th consecutive year, Citrus College has been included in the annual "Top 25 Community Colleges for Hispanics" issue published by "Hispanic Outlook on Education," a monthly magazine that provides education news. "Hispanic Outlook on Education" has ranked the college seventh out of more than 1,100 community colleges in the United States for awarding associate degrees to Hispanic students.

"Being recognized as one of the nation's top degree producers is an honor that Citrus College is always proud to receive," said the superintendent/president of Citrus College. "Over the past several years, the college has introduced numerous innovative initiatives designed to increase college completion rates. This impressive ranking from 'Hispanic Outlook on Education' demonstrates that we are making excellent progress in this regard."

Citrus College was also ranked seventh in 2017.

Rasmussen, president of the Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees. "Accomplishments such as this are only made possible by the dedication of the entire college community. I extend my sincere gratitude to Citrus College's faculty and staff for doing all they can to help students achieve academic excellence."
