About This School

Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC), often pronounced "L-tri-C," is an American public community college with a main campus in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. The college also maintains satellite campuses in Allentown, also in the Lehigh Valley, and Tamaqua in Schuylkill County.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while exploring your options — at just $9,568/year after aid and a median graduation debt of only $6,000, the financial risk here is genuinely manageable. That said, the median earnings of $36,400 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone toward a four-year transfer or a specific trade/career credential rather than a final destination. If you have a clear program goal and a transfer plan in mind, this school offers real value without the debt burden that follows students from pricier institutions.
