The college was founded in 1976, and is part of the Coast Community College District. Its location in Orange County California is a reasonable drive from San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles Counties with some students even driving from San Diego County for its more specialized classes.
Instruction is offered in nine different cities within the college service area, at approximately 50 sites, including banks, senior centers, high schools, office buildings, and shopping malls. In addition to these sites, the College has main area learning centers based in Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, and Westminster. In 1997, the College opened a center in Garden Grove with lab and large lecture facilities. In 2006 Coastline opened a new center in Westminster called the Le-Jao Center, for providing job-related technical skills.
