Lower Columbia College was established in 1934 as Lower Columbia Junior College. In 1961, it was elevated to a community college, and in 1967, it joined the state-supported community college system.
Today, the college is a comprehensive community and technical college offering over 90 certificate, associate, and bachelor's degree options in eight career pathways. Our College and Career Preparation programs also help students prepare for college-level studies or complete high school.
