Educational Options
Are you exploring your college options? Do you live in Liberty or Chambers County? If so, Lee College can help you get started in your own back yard at the Lee College Education Center – South Liberty County (LCEC). LCEC is centrally located on State Highway 146 Bypass in Liberty. The center reflects the college's commitment to supporting academic resources and workforce training offered throughout the region. The LCEC offers a Dual Credit Institute, post-secondary educational programs, fast-track workforce training, and community education to students in the South Liberty County area.
The Dual Credit Institute serves students of neighboring school districts — Anahuac, Dayton, East Chambers, Liberty, Hardin and Hull-Daisetta, and West Hardin — in offering coursework in the high-demand technical fields of cosmetology, cybersecurity, electrical technology, logistics, and process technology, along with academic transfer courses.
The post-secondary educational programs include day and evening classes selected from the core curriculum. Students can also take courses from the technical course offerings indicated above. The academic transfer course offerings align with the majority of degree concentrations and provide students with the opportunity to obtain their college core courses for transfer to a four-year university. Technical programs offer students coursework which prepare students for industry in the area of process technology, electrical technology, cybersecurity and logistics.
The expansion of the Grand Parkway has led to the growth of warehouses along the parkway. This growth provides employment opportunities in logistics. Lee College's logistics certificates/associate degree provides students with key functional knowledge in the field and includes business management supervision; managing activities associated with traffic, transportation, inventory management, warehousing, packaging, order processing, and materials handling; and physical distribution and supply chain management. Two industry certifications — Certified Logistics Associate and Certified Logistics Technician — can be completed in Lee College's logistics certificates/degree.
If you have ever had your computer hacked or if you know someone who has been hacked, you understand the increased focus on cybersecurity. Jobs in the field of cybersecurity are growing, and students obtain the knowledge to complete industry certifications such as CompTia® A+, CompTia® Network+, and CompTIA® Security+.
GED/ABE classes, fast-track industrial training, healthcare training, computer technology, online learning, community education, and other non-credit programs are offered throughout the year.
Workshops such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Excel are offered free to the community.
