Programs
Santa Monica College conferred undergraduate degrees in 61 distinct fields — broad enough that most students can change direction without transferring.

Interdisciplinary studies follows at 19%. 100% of those degrees are at the associate's degree level. Figures below count awards conferred in 2024–25, the most recent year IPEDS has published.
