Central Lakes College is determined to provide students with not only an excellent education and exceptional value, but also an enriching campus experience full of opportunity, fun and fulfillment. CLC students will find chances to form friendships, build lifelong connections and progress toward their future goals.
Experience Learning. Gain the confidence that comes through learning new information and skills. Our instructors in both Liberal Arts and Career and Technical Education programs love to teach, and they know their subject matter. You’ll find yourself challenged and energized by new knowledge, dynamic presentations and real-world applications. You’ll meet professionals in the field and have the chance to connect with our established alumni. Our classrooms, labs, technology and facilities are second to none. And because our classes are small, you’ll get to really know your instructors, who will guide and support your learning. Plus, you’ll form lasting friendships with your peers.
