Fortunately, LCC students are not stuck in overly crowded classrooms or competing to meet with their teachers for additional instruction, thanks to the more than 500 faculty members currently teaching at Laredo Community College.

Prospective students interested in Laredo Community College will find a vast and diverse number of academic programs sure to meet their needs, with majors including (but not limited to) banking and financial support services, international marketing, computer and information systems, drafting and design technology, heating/air conditioning/ventilation and refrigeration technology, occupational therapist assistant, auto body/collision and repair technology, computer installation and repair technology, and fire protection and safety technology.
