Institutional Role and Mission
(Approved by the State Board of Education in 1999)

LCSC is a regional state college offering undergraduate instruction in the liberal arts and sciences, professional areas tailored to the educational needs of Idaho, applied technical programs which support the state and local economy, and other educational programs designed to meet the needs of Idahoans.

LCSC will formulate its academic plan and generate programs with primary emphasis in the areas of business, criminal justice, nursing, social work, teacher preparation and vocational-technical education. The College will give continuing emphasis to select programs offered on and off campus at nontraditional times, using nontraditional means of delivery and serving a highly diverse student body. LCSC will maintain basic strengths in the liberal arts and sciences, which provide the core curriculum, or general education, portion of the curriculum.
