With more than 90 academic programs to choose from and faculty with proven professional experience, now is the time to begin your academic studies at LCCC!  

If it’s been over a year since you last took a class at LCCC, you will need to reapply as a returning student.

No. Although many of our programs require students to complete their degrees at the main campus, students may start their coursework at any of the following campus locations:

• LCCC Schnecksville Main Campus
• LCCC Allentown at the Donley Center
• LCCC Tamaqua at the Morgan Center
• LVIA Airport Campus — for aviation/private pilot studies only

LCCC truly allows every student to start here and go anywhere! With more than 600 articulation agreements with 66 colleges and universities across Pennsylvania, the region, and the country, our students can transfer to four-year institutions without any worry. This allows students to take classes at LCCC with the security of knowing that the credits they earn will count at another school.
