Chancellor’s Welcome


Welcome to Lone Star College!

We are committed to your success and ready to help you achieve your goals.

Education and career training have never been more important in today’s world -
65 percent of all jobs will require post-secondary training by 2020. LSC offers you the opportunity to earn an associate degree, take classes that transfer to four-year universities, train for a career, or a new career, update your current job skills, or take continuing education classes for self-improvement.

Lone Star College has advantages those big four-year universities don’t have, like small classes - most average about 23 students - which gives you the personal attention to help lead to your credential completion. LSC offers mentoring, tutoring and counseling to help you succeed.

LSC can also put you on the fast track to some of Houston’s hottest careers in health care, computer technology, manufacturing and more. You’ll find state of the art advanced technology centers ready to train you with the skills employers are seeking.

LSC is also the smart choice when it comes to saving money. Attending LSC, with college locations close to home, is more affordable than other state institutions, saving you thousands per semester. Financial aid is also available to qualified students.

We know that not everyone can be a 9 to 5, full-time student. That’s why LSC offers flexible schedules with classes throughout the day, evenings and weekends, along with cutting-edge online access to classes via LSC-Online. LSC also offers customized workforce training and development to employers through our Lone Star Corporate College.

If you’re worried that you will miss out on extracurricular activities by attending LSC, think again. Lone Star College has student clubs and organizations at each college with members who participate in athletics, student government, theater activities, music performance groups, and more, aimed at providing you with a well-rounded college experience.

We know you have a choice and we are honored you have chosen Lone Star College for your education needs. You will be joining more than 95,000 students who call LSC home each year, and you can be assured that you will receive a first-rate education no matter which program of study or career training you decide to pursue.

It’s never been a better time to attend Lone Star College!
