History of CLTCC Campuses

CLTCC is comprised of one main campus, eight branches/extensions, and two instructional service centers. The sites were first accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission on Occupational Education Institutions (SACS/COEI). The campuses were accredited by SACS/COEI from January 1974 through December 1995. The COEI division withdrew from SACS in December 1995 and was reorganized as the Council on Occupational Education (COE). The campuses have been accredited by COE from January 1996 to the present. Act 506 of the 2005 Regular Legislative Session proposed a reorganization of the Louisiana Technical College. LCTCS adopted the 21st Century Model for the Delivery of Technical Education effective July 1, 2006. The reorganization consisted of eight Regional Education Centers with what is presently CLTCC comprising Region 6.

During the regular 2012 legislative session, ACT 760 was approved by state lawmakers to create the Central Louisiana Technical Community College by combining the six technical colleges in the region and increasing course offerings. The Central Louisiana Technical Community College was charged with providing comprehensive educational programs that meet the needs of students and the community. Such programs may include career and technical education and training, workforce development training, adult basic education, continuing education, general education, associate degree programs, college transfer degree programs and other educational programs and opportunities.
