Laramie County Community College
The number one reason to attend college is to learn, and at LCCC teaching is the number one priority. LCCC instructors bring real world experience into the classroom and encourage you to take your knowledge beyond the walls of the institution. At LCCC you will find dedicated faculty who love to teach.
LCCC also works closely with the University of Wyoming to ensure that our courses transfer to their four-year degree programs. If you want to continue your education at UW, take advantage of our Dual Admissions Program. Similar programs have been established with UNC and CSU.
LCCC is dedicated to helping individuals prepare for careers, enjoy community life and enrich leisure time by providing a spectrum of educational opportunities.
To achieve these ends, LCCC provides programs, many of which are technical in nature, in the following instructional areas: academic, preparing students for transfer to four-year institutions; technical, training students in programs up to two years in length to enter the world of work; and community services and continuing education, consisting of noncredit courses and offering courses of general information, cultural opportunities, and professional and personal growth.
