LCSC Today
LCSC is a regional State College, operating under the governance of
the Idaho State Board of Education. The institution has a three-part
mission that encompasses traditional academic programs, professional-technical
education programs, and community college and community
service programs. The college’s undergraduate instructional programs
offer a wide range of academic and professional programs leading to
baccalaureate and associate degrees. The college also offers a number
of programs leading to certificates. In accordance with its role and
mission statement (approved by the State Board of Education, see
the end of this section), LCSC’s primary emphasis areas are business,
criminal justice, nursing, social work, teacher preparation, and
professional-technical education. The State Board directs LCSC to
maintain basic strengths in the liberal arts and sciences, which provide
the core (general education) portion of the curriculum. Other assigned
emphasis areas are the provision of select programs offered on and
off campus, at non-traditional times, using non-traditional means of
delivery, to serve a diverse student body. The institution also conducts
selected research studies and provides a variety of life-long learning
opportunities through its continuing education programs. LCSC works
in collaboration with other state and regional postsecondary institutions
to serve its diverse constituencies: students, business and industry, the
professions, public sector groups, and special constituencies within the
region and throughout the state.
