Lower Columbia College: The Smart Choice!
We offer the promise of a better life through education. Studies have shown that individuals with an associate's degree earn 19% more than persons with only a high school diploma. This number increases significantly for those who earn a bachelor's degree!
As a student you will experience supportive learning environments and faculty and staff committed to your success! You will gain a firm foundation for your educational and personal goals with the help of advisors who will work alongside you to develop the skills you need to succeed.
Consumers are more value conscious than ever today. The good news is that community colleges offer quality education at an affordable price. Financial aid and scholarships are available, and admission is open.
Students planning to transfer can save substantially by attending their first two years at Lower Columbia College, then transfer to a four-year university, or complete their bachelor's degree through an on-site University Center. Undecided majors can explore different subjects before committing to a program, and those focused on a trade can learn specific skills. We see it as a win-win proposition!
Small classes, dedicated teachers, and a friendly, supportive environment set the tone of our institution. LCC welcomes curiosity, creativity, intellectual ambition, and an openness to new ideas. We see learning as a challenging, deeply rewarding, and profoundly important activity to be shared in a spirit of collaboration!
