Chancellor's Welcome

Welcome to St. Louis Community College.

Thank you for choosing St. Louis Community College. We're excited to have you here!

At STLCC, our mission is simple: Empowering students. Expanding minds. Changing lives. That's what we've been doing since 1962, and it's what we'll do for you.

We know that going to college is a big step. That's why we've built a college that works around your life. Whether you're starting college for the first time, learning new job skills, or just exploring something you're curious about, you belong here.

Here's what makes STLCC special:

With more than 80 programs and six schools, you can choose the path that's right for you. We're the largest community college in Missouri, and we've helped over 1.3 million students reach their goals. We offer quality education at a price you can actually afford, and graduate with little or no debt.

We make learning work for you. Our four campuses are spread across the St. Louis area, so there's probably one close to where you live or work. We also offer online and hybrid classes if you need even more flexibility. You can take classes during the day, in the evening, or on weekends—whatever fits your schedule.

You'll get the support you need. Our classes are smaller, so you're not just a number. Our faculty and staff really care about helping you succeed. Need help with tutoring? Financial aid? Advising? We've got your back.

College is more than just classes. Join a club. Play a sport. Go to a concert or art show. Get involved in student government. Meet Archie, our mascot! There are hundreds of ways to connect with other students and have fun while you're learning.

We put students first—that's one of our core values. Everything we do is designed to help you succeed and remove barriers that might get in your way.

Thank you again for making STLCC your college of choice. I'm confident that our dedicated teachers, flexible schedules, affordable tuition, and supportive community will give you the best chance to expand your mind and change your life.

Welcome to the STLCC family!

Sincerely, 

Jeff L. Pittman, Ph.D.
