Lewis and Clark Community College is a public community college in Godfrey, Illinois. It serves approximately 3,973 credit and non-credit students annually. The college has nine locations throughout the St. Louis Metro East, including a campus and humanities center in Edwardsville, Illinois; community education centers in Alton, Illinois, Carlinville, Illinois and Jerseyville, Illinois; a training center in Bethalto, Illinois; a river research center in East Alton, Illinois; and a location at the East St. Louis Higher Education Center in East St. Louis, Illinois. Lewis and Clark community college has career and transfer study options. The college also offers personal enrichment programming for adults and children, as well as corporate and safety training options for professionals.

This is a strong option for students in the St. Louis Metro East area who want to keep costs low — at just $4,281/year after aid and a median graduation debt of only $5,500, it's one of the more affordable paths you'll find. That said, be clear-eyed about the outcome side: median earnings of $31,700 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted career program rather than a terminal degree. Worth considering if affordability and regional accessibility are priorities, but have a specific next step in mind.
