Lake Land College

Welcome to Lake Land College, one of the friendliest colleges in the United States. The 317-acre campus is alive with busy students, energetic employees and state-of-the-art technology. 

Faculty and staff know students by name and are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience for everyone. This dedication to excellence has been recognized by the Aspen Institute, which continues to name Lake Land in the top 10 percent of all community colleges in the nation.

Students can choose from transfer degrees and career and technical certificates or degrees. At Lake Land, courses and services are offered in a way that allows education to fit into its students' lives. To help students balance school, work and family, Lake Land has developed several flexible options for creating a schedule. For example with Tech 2 Day, students only come to campus two days a week. They complete online lecture courses and work the other days.   

The new Competency-based Manufacturing program allows students to work at their own pace and schedule on-campus labs when it is convenient for them. Other programs offer lecture courses online with evening or daily in-person labs.

Located in Mattoon, Illinois, Lake Land provides students with a college experience in a safe environment. The 318-acre campus features several buildings, a strong Athletic program and a multitude of state-of-the art technology. 

Our students experience the Lake Land College difference firsthand — through immersive, hands-on learning, an environment that encourages multiple perspectives and a culture of constant innovation.

The result? Through the boundless power of education, students are equipped with the tools that transform their lives.
