Long Beach City College (LBCC) is a public community college in Long Beach, California, United States. It was established in 1927 and is divided into two campuses, the Liberal Arts Campus (LAC) in Lakewood Village and the Trades, Technology, and Community Learning Campus (TTC) in central Long Beach on Pacific Coast Highway. It is the only college in the Long Beach Community College District.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to transfer or a trade career — with median debt at graduation of just $10,500, you won't be buried in loans. That said, the median earnings of $33,800 a decade after enrollment are modest, so be intentional about your program choice, since outcomes vary significantly between transfer-track degrees and the vocational programs offered at the Trades & Technology campus. This works best for students with a clear plan, not those still figuring it out.
