Greetings from LCSC President
J. Anthony (Tony) Fernandez

Thank you for your interest in Lewis-Clark State College. You will find our website to be a valuable tool as you take time to explore our college and its role and mission in higher education for Idaho and beyond. Our low student-faculty ratio, the lowest tuition among four-year institutions in Idaho, and our intimate setting make Lewis-Clark State College a public institution with the feel and quality of a private college.

Lewis-Clark State College offers a quality education in a safe learning environment and a beautiful area. The Morgan Quinto Press recently ranked Lewiston as one of the top 25 safest cities in the United States.  The Lewiston area was ranked by “Outdoor Life” magazine as one of its top 10 places to live for three consecutive years. The Lewiston-Clarkston Valley has a population of more than 50,000 and is where the Snake and Clearwater rivers join, providing plenty of boating, fishing, and other water recreational opportunities – and Lewiston is near sea level so the winters are very mild.

You will receive a quality education at LCSC and our graduating students continue to make their mark in society. Over the past 10 years, more than 90% of students who completed a biology or chemistry degree have been accepted to a graduate medical program. In addition, our students have been hired directly after graduation by national companies such as Microsoft, ESPN, AIG, AFLAC, and Albertsons.  LCSC alumni are leaders throughout the Pacific Northwest particularly in business, education, and the health professions.

Wherever your interest lies, Lewis-Clark State College is here to assist you on your career path. LCSC offers a customized educational experience by meeting students where they are and taking them to where they want to go. Our faculty will engage and challenge you, and we are ready to help you with support, from financial aid to career advising and much more. We also have several ways for you to become more involved with LCSC, including numerous clubs and organizations, student government, and top 25 NAIA athletic programs.

If you haven't already visited the Lewis-Clark State College campus, I invite you to walk around and explore our buildings, talk with our faculty and students, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Lewis-Clark State College is truly an inspirational place, one that makes a difference in the lives of students, the communities we serve, and the world around us. We hope that you make Lewis-Clark State College part of your journey.
