Lamar Community College School Description

Located on the golden plains of southeastern Colorado, the College has developed a special concern for the educational needs of Prowers, Baca, Kiowa, and Cheyenne Counties. Yet its unique programs, small class size, dedicated staff, personalized attention, and idyllic setting make it a preferred educational destination for the State of Colorado, the nation, and the world.

Students choose Lamar Community College for various reasons. Some seek skills and knowledge to enter the workforce. Others wish to hone their talents and prepare for transfer to a four-year university. Still others come to study in one of the signature programs, seek a bachelors degree through the recently created Rural Education Access Program (REAP). or desire to continue their athletic careers against top-level competition. Whatever the reason, you’ll excel as a part of our close-knit learning community.

LCC’s alumni include an Academy Award nominee, successful businesspersons, ranchers, farmers, educators, professionals, entrepreneurs, and others. Born of a pioneer spirit, LCC is dedicated to providing quality education to help students maximize their potential and succeed in our fast-paced, ever-changing world.

Extracurricular activities are an important part of campus life at Lamar Community College. They provide opportunities for students to interact with faculty, the community, and each other, and to grow personally and academically.
