Start here. Go anywhere. At LTCC you will not get lost in the crowd. We are small enough that our students get to know their instructors on a first name basis and leave prepared for the challenges ahead.
The overall course completion rate at LTCC is the fourth highest in the state. LTCC has transfer admission agreements with schools like UC-San Diego, UC-Santa Barbara, UC-Davis, UC-Santa Cruz, UC-Irvine, UC-Riverside, UC-Merced and Sonoma State University.

Top notch academic resources. The college offers state of the art "smart" technology in classrooms, approximately 200 computers are available to students, including two PC labs, one Mac lab, an Internet café, computer stations and wireless access in the library. A new 27,000 square foot library and art gallery opened in September 2006. The campus offers a first class gymnasium and fitness center and a culinary facility and dining hall/student center both constructed in 2002.
It is the environment. Outdoor recreation is year-round at Lake Tahoe. Students are within minutes of three ski resorts, with 12 others to choose from around the lake. Summer brings water sports, fishing, camping and an extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails. The sun shines an average 75 percent or 274 days a year giving students plenty of chances to get out and explore the Sierra Nevada.
