History
American Career College was founded by David Pyle in 1978 under the name of American College of Optics. Originally the school focused only on optical dispensing.
The school remained a little-known entity running classes from its locations in downtown Los Angeles at 4021 Rosewood Avenue and [Anaheim] at 1200 North Magnolia Avenue until the approval of the vocational nursing program in 1994.
In the fall of 2008, American Career College opened a new campus in Ontario at 3130 East Sedona Court which held classes for both American Career College as well as West Coast University. Approximately 500 ACC students were relocated from the temporary campus located in Norco.
The Long Beach campus opened in December 2012, and is housed in the Arts Building, an iconic construction of the 1930s. It is located in the heart of Downtown Long Beach.
