Louisiana Delta Community College

What Louisiana Delta Community College does

Louisiana Delta Community College (LDCC) is a public, open-admissions community college operating nine physical campuses across northeast Louisiana (Monroe, Bastrop, Farmerville, Jonesboro, Lake Providence, Ruston, Tallulah, West Monroe, Winnsboro) plus a Knights Online distance learning platform. Founded in 2001 and governed under the Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTC), LDCC serves high school dual-enrollment students, adult learners, workforce seekers, transfer students, military-affiliated students, and employer partners through five academic schools (Business & Technology, Industrial Technology, Nursing and Allied Health, Liberal Arts, and Natural Sciences and Math) alongside adult education and short-term credential programs.

The college's product portfolio spans academic associate degrees and transfer pathways, industry-aligned workforce certificates (CDL, Heavy Equipment Operator, Data Center Technician, Electrical Lineman, Fiber Technician, Construction Craft Laborer, Cardiac Care Technician, CNC Machining, and healthcare credentials), adult HSE preparation, and student support services. Underlying technology is delivered through commercial third-party platforms — Canvas LMS for course delivery, LoLA for student information, ConexEd/Craniumcafe for virtual enrollment, Banner XE for administration, Degree Works for advising, Career Coach (EMSI) for career exploration, and Microsoft 365 for productivity — with no proprietary AI/ML capabilities in evidence. Student support integrations include Tutor.com (24/7 tutoring) and BetterMynd (virtual therapy).

LDCC's revenue model combines tuition and fees, state appropriations through LCTC, federal Carl D. Perkins and other grants, short-term workforce course fees ($125–$8,000 per program), adult education funding, and philanthropy through the LDCC Foundation (501(c)(3)). GTM is primarily direct-to-consumer across in-person, online, and dual-enrollment channels, supplemented by industry partnerships (CBRE, Karl Malone Toyota/Gulf States Toyota, DPR/Turner Construction, NEDHSA) that align curriculum with regional employer demand. SACSCOC accreditation was reaffirmed for ten years in June 2026.
