College of the Desert is located in Palm Desert, California, the geographic center of the beautiful Coachella Valley.

Founded in 1958, this two-year public college serves over 400,000 residents of eight local cities and the students of the Palm Springs, Desert Sands and Coachella Valley school districts. College of the Desert offers certificates and two-year Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees.

The College serves over 15,400 students. COD is a federally recognized Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), with almost 73% of the student body identifying as Hispanic. The Coachella Valley community recently passed a $577 million bond measure, allowing for College of the Desert to improve its current facilities and expand its campus locations. These improvements and expansion will assist with College of the Desert's goals of providing an education to students inside and outside of the Coachella Valley.

The Computer Information System Department, which includes Cyber Security, has three full time faculty and eleven adjunct faculty teaching Computer Literacy, Programming, Networking, Web, Internet Research, and Office Skills courses to prepare students for careers and transfer.
