Education for Real Life, for Your Whole Life

Through a changing economy and sharp increases in the price of higher education, STLCC has provided opportunity for all. As the largest higher educational institution in the region, STLCC has served more than 1.2 million students. Over 50% of households in the St. Louis area are represented in our former and current student body. Since 1962, St. Louis Community College has held fast to the fundamental belief that education has the power to lift us up — as individuals, as communities and as a city.

Today, STLCC consistently ranks among the top associate degree-awarding institutions in the United States. As we launch students into new and better careers, four-year degrees and richer lives, we strengthen St. Louis one student at a time.

Diversity and Inclusion at STLCC

Diversity: It’s not just what we do. It’s who we are. At STLCC, we’re committed to creating accessible, dynamic learning environments focused on the needs of our diverse communities.

Our diverse and balanced leadership steers the college toward a strong future. A future where we continue to fully prepare you for in-demand careers or to excel in further education.

Putting Inclusion into Action
In August 2014, the events of Ferguson, Missouri, gave a call to action. In this unprecedented moment, we focused on how we could provide an environment of diversity, inclusion, equity and justice for the STLCC community.

At STLCC, we strive to foster an atmosphere of appreciation for all people, regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status or class.

But this atmosphere doesn’t just happen. To cultivate this culture, we created an action plan.

To help realize this plan, we created our Diversity Council. The council is charged with promoting an atmosphere of appreciation for all people at STLCC and ensuring the Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan Strategic Initiatives are implemented.
