Lakes Region Community College is a fully accredited, not-for-profit, community college located in the city of Laconia in the beautiful Lakes Region of New Hampshire.
We offer a variety of college degree and certificate programs, training programs and even dual-enrollment opportunities for NH high school students looking to get an early start on their college credits.
LRCC is a reflection of all of the communities we serve, including high school graduates eager to discover career possibilities, adult learners needing up-skilling, and individuals looking for workforce training to grow in their professions or begin a new career.
