American Samoa Community College is a two-year WASC college located in the village of Mapusaga, on the island of Tutuila in American Samoa. Pago Pago is roughly nine miles to the east of the school, which is where the territory's center of commerce is located.
The college was established in 1970 as part of the American Samoa Department of Education. The first freshman class had 131 students, while the school moved around a few buildings on the island a bit before being permanently situated in its current location in 1974. In 1979, the U.S. Economic Development Administration provided a grant that allowed the college to add five modern buildings for the fine arts, nursing, science, and vocational training. ASCC was also able to add a cafeteria and a gymnasium. A brand new library was added in 2003.
ASCC offers Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees, as well as Certificate programs in the areas of liberal arts, teacher training, vocational-technical education, and general education. Other academic programs include:
