Welcome to the Lone Star College System!
I congratulate you for your decision to pursue higher education opportunities, and appreciate that you have chosen to attend a Lone Star College. In today’s changing world, the value of education and training beyond high school has never been more important. Whether your goal is to earn an associate’s degree, train for a new career, update your current job skills, or transfer to a four-year university, a Lone Star College can help you succeed.
Lone Star College System enrolled over 62,000 students in credit courses last year, making us the largest college in the greater Houston area, and the second largest community college system in Texas. The system includes five comprehensive colleges – LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC-North Harris, LSC-Montgomery and LSC-Tomball and five satellite centers, LSC-Carver Center, LSC-Conroe Center, LSC-Fairbanks Center, LSC-Greenspoint Center, LSC-University Park (formerly LSC-Willowchase Center), two university centers, LSC-University Center at Montgomery, LSC-University Center at University Park (open fall 2010), as well as Lone Star Corporate College, and LSC-Online. These offer convenient access to a full complement of academic and technical programs, through day, evening, weekend, and distance learning courses.
You will see exciting changes at each of our colleges as we are in the midst of an aggressive program to build $420 million in facilities system-wide to accommodate our growth. Lone Star College System is committed to Achieving the Dream, a national effort to remove barriers to student success. Through-out the year, you will be hearing about this important initiative. It is but one of several major efforts focused on student achievement and success.
Further, we are placing a new focus on workforce and contract training opportunities. By partnering with area companies to provide flexible and affordable instruction for employees, we will encourage economic development while benefiting workers seeking to improve their long-term job skills. Our goal is to help people and companies – and elevate the quality of life in our region.
Likewise, look for changes in our distance learning area. With more and more students asking for convenient online programs, we are working to make online education easier to access, while improving the learning experience. Lone Star College Online is the fastest growing segment of our enrollment growth. We will continue to “think innovatively” as we develop this area for new generations of students.
As always, our many financial aid programs stand ready to open doors to serious students who lack funds for college. If you need help, please do not hesitate to contact the financial aid office on any campus.
For all these reasons and more, this is a great time to attend a Lone Star College. Welcome!
Dr. Richard CarpenterChancellor
