Chancellor's Welcome

W. Dennis Epps

More than 10,000 students participate in learning opportunities via LDCC each year, and we are rapidly growing and broadening our scope and programs. Through our eight campus locations and a vibrant distance learning community, we serve a 2,100 square mile service delivery area in Northeast Louisiana and beyond. Our focus is to provide an excellent education with a real-world focus that helps our students to gain entry-level employment in many exciting career fields, and to help those already employed gain the knowledge and skills necessary for advancement and the full realization of their career aspirations.

For those seeking an Associate degree or preparing to transfer to a four-year institution, we provide a top-tier faculty and a total commitment to a supportive learning environment. Our past students frequently cite LDCC as having been a great place to start their education and give much credit to their experiences here for their long-term success. LDCC is accredited by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS-COC) and has expansive transfer programs in concert with the University of Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana Technical University, Grambling State University, Northwestern State University, and many more state and national institutions. Our goal is for each student to be able to “start here and go anywhere."

If your objective is to obtain top-tier technical training, we have a host of opportunities, all of which are developed and maintained through active partnerships with business and industry. LDCC has a strong reputation for excellence in working with business and industry and has a multitude of exciting options.

Some individuals seeking opportunities to advance themselves may not have completed their high-school education. LDCC offers outstanding adult basic education programming and many job-training programs of a short-term nature to help these students.

LDCC is also committed to the needs of employers to develop a world-class workforce, to provide training solutions to make businesses more competitive. As a leading provider of training programs for incumbent workers, we aim to deliver carefully crafted training targeted to meet your specific needs.

As you explore this website, you will learn much about LDCC and its commitment to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Let us know how we can assist you.

Best wishes in achieving your vision and goals! We want to help in every possible way.

Dennis Epps,
Chancellor
