Laredo College

Laredo Community College is located in Laredo, Texas and is now known as Laredo College (LC), having changed its name years ago. This school was established back in 1947 and it currently serves more than 8000 students. Students can take advantage of many educational opportunities at both the Fort McIntosh campus and the South Campus. This school offers many associate’s degree programs as well as several certificate programs. LC has received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

LC has two main nursing program options for students to consider. Students are able to pursue an associate’s degree in nursing or a certificate from the vocational nursing program. Students will learn the necessary skills to become licensed vocational nurses (LVN) in the vocational program and can pursue becoming registered nurses (RN) in the associate’s degree program. Nursing students will feel prepared to take the appropriate NCLEX licensure exam upon graduation. Students at LC have traditionally found great success in the nursing field. This nursing program is approved by the Texas State Board of Nursing and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
