Building Communities: Catalyst for Economic Development

It's not by accident that Linn-Benton Community College's middle name is "Community." Formed by the Linn-Benton community in 1966, we continue to build on our commitment to serving you, our community . . .

Helping build communities that are better places to live and to work, through education for the many, and not just the few. Not so much a statement of mission, as a description of our passion. We continue to believe that our communities are better places to live and to work because of what we do.

By providing almost universal access to quality education beyond high school (and even for those who did not complete high school), LBCC creates critical pathways for all of us to benefit from and contribute to the economic and cultural vitality of the Linn-Benton community, of which we all are a part.
