Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC), often pronounced "L-tri-C," is an American public community college with a main campus in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. The college also maintains satellite campuses in Allentown, also in the Lehigh Valley, and Tamaqua in Schuylkill County.

The school serves as the primary granter of associate degrees in the Allentown metropolitan area.

History

20th century

LCCC was founded on March 31, 1966 as Lehigh County Community College. It originally held classes in the former Lehigh County Courthouse. In 1972, modern facilities were built, creating the foundation for the current campus of this academic institution. College administrators selected the school's current name in 1994 with the goal of increasing enrollment from nearby Carbon County.

21st century

Until its sale in 2013, the college operated a campus radio station, WLHI, which was streamed globally on iHeartRadio.

As of 2025, the college maintains learning centers at two additional off-campus locations: the Donley Center in Allentown, and the John Morgan Center in Tamaqua. They previously operated the Carbon Center in Jim Thorpe, which was closed in 2020 due to a lack of enrollment and an increasing number of students taking classes online.
