Outdoor recreation is year-round at Lake Tahoe. Students are within minutes of three ski resorts, with twelve others to choose from around the lake. Summer brings water sports and access to an extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails. The beauty of Lake Tahoe provides the scenic backdrop for students who want to take advantage of Lake Tahoe Community College's strong academic programs.

International students who have completed coursework outside the United States should discuss their transcripts with a counselor prior to transferring to Lake Tahoe Community College.
