About This School

Lassen Community College is a public community college in Susanville, California. It is a part of the California Community Colleges System.

Located in rural Susanville, this small community college (under 1,600 students) offers an accessible, low-cost pathway to transfer or career training with a tight-knit campus feel that larger schools can't match. The honest concern is the post-graduation earning picture — median earnings of $35,400 a decade after enrollment is modest, so if you're pursuing a credential here, have a clear plan for transfer or a specific career track rather than treating it as a default option. Worth considering if you're a local student looking to reduce costs before transferring to a Cal State or UC, but go in with intention.
