International Students
As a prospective international student, you need to decide whether Lake Tahoe Community College best fits your educational goals. The information below will help to provide you with an overview of our campus, community, and the admissions requirements for international students.
The College
LTCC is located in South Lake Tahoe, California, a small resort community in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. The sun shines an average of 274 days a year giving students plenty of chances to get out and explore the Sierra Nevada. At LTCC you won’t 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 College offers courses necessary for transfer to a four-year college or university and has transfer admission agreements with schools like UC-San Diego, UC-Santa Barbara, and UC-Davis. LTCC students also transfer to a wide variety of other universities to continue their education after completing their first two years at LTCC.
Combine the surroundings with the LTCC campus and what you get is a world-class educational experience!
