About

Established in 1947, Laredo College is a vital two-year institution best known for its strong allied health and nursing programs, extensive technical and workforce training, and seamless transfer pathways to four-year universities across Texas. Operating across two locations—the historic Fort McIntosh Campus on the banks of the Rio Grande and the modern South Campus—the college offers an accessible, commuter-friendly, and deeply bicultural student experience anchored in the local community. A defining strength of the institution is its close alignment with the region's booming economy as North America's premier inland port, providing specialized, high-demand training in logistics, transportation technology, and law enforcement alongside traditional academic degrees.
