Labette Community College (LCC) is a public community college in Parsons, Kansas, United States. LCC's main campus is situated in Parsons and satellite campuses are located in Cherokee, Oswego and Pittsburg. The mascot of the school is Chris the Cardinal. The official school colors are red and white.
This is a strong option for cost-conscious students in southeast Kansas — at just $7,795/year after aid and a median debt of only $6,500 at graduation, it's one of the more affordable paths to a two-year degree you'll find. The small enrollment of 766 students means a more personal experience, and the satellite campuses in Cherokee, Oswego, and Pittsburg add real convenience. The one honest caution: median earnings of $36,000 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a specific career program rather than a terminal degree for high-earning fields.
