Lake Tahoe Community College is ranked #20 in the entire country for best community college in 2023!
LTCC is an evolving, dynamic California community college located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe. The waters and surrounding forests of Lake Tahoe are a national treasure, and LTCC’s campus is a microcosm of the entire region’s natural beauty. Located at 6,229 feet above sea level, LTCC is Northern California’s highest elevation college. This enthusiastic and friendly college community serves students from the bi-state, multi-jurisdictional Tahoe watershed area and includes many students from neighboring Nevada communities, other states in the country, and from around the world through our International Student Program.
LTCC currently serves just over 6,500 students annually, helping them to earn terminal degrees, preparing them for transfer to four-year institutions, and readying them for successful careers. As an open-door institution, LTCC strives to minimize barriers to college participation for all those who seek it. Ensuring access to higher education is central to the core mission of LTCC.
Thanks to South Lake Tahoe’s support, LTCC has the funding to revitalize and modernize the campus. A $55 million General Obligation Bond (Measure F) was passed in November 2014. The bond is supporting renovations and modernization all around campus, with major improvements to buildings, classrooms, laboratories, and technology underway.
