New Students

Located in California's beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains, Lake Tahoe Community College offers more than the typical college experience. 

Think about attending class in the midst of a forest within minutes of the shores of a pristine alpine lake, multiple ski resorts, and year-round recreational opportunities.  Whether working on a class project or studying by the fireplace in the library, you'll discover that LTCC is a place where students thrive.  With a variety of degree and certificate programs, students receive a strong academic foundation while enjoying the Tahoe lifestyle.

Whether you are just taking a few courses, working on a degree, or planning to transfer, LTCC can help you achieve your educational goals.  The College  is small enough that students get to know their instructors on a first name basis and receive personalized attention from our support staff. After completing their first two years at LTCC, many students transfer to four-year universities such as UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, San Franciso State, and the University of Nevada, Reno.  Take the first step of your educational journey and apply today!
