Lone Star College is meeting students where they are with its newest campus, LSC-Online. LSC’s eighth official college opened in fall 2022 with 3,643 students. Since spring 2023, 4,291 students find great value in taking courses virtually through LSC-Online.
“Lone Star College understood that while many people wanted to earn a college education, various factors hindered them from attending courses in person,” said Seelpa Keshvala, Ph.D., LSC Executive Vice Chancellor, LSC-Online CEO and LSC-University Park Acting President. “Lone Star College-Online allows those students to complete their degrees virtually in two years, the same for those who take on-campus classes.”
The 17% increase in enrollment at LSC-Online is a credit to the comprehensive resources available such as 100% virtual student support services (advising, tutoring, library services and 24/7 technical support) and dedicated faculty and staff who specialize in online teaching and learning.
“Lone Star College-Online has provided an excellent support system that allowed me to work to provide for my family and earn a college education,” said Olga Martinez, LSC-Online student. “Attending Lone Star College is one of the best decisions I have ever made.”
LSC-Online has over 30 programs that lead to an associate degree (arts, science or applied science) or an accredited certification. Offerings include administrative services, business administration, computer and digital technology, energy, manufacturing and construction trades, health sciences and teaching.
