LBCC was established in 1966 as a two-year public college and offered its first classes in the fall of 1967. Supported by tuition, local property taxes and state revenue, the college is directed by an elected, seven-member Board of Education. LBCC is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Northwest Association of Colleges and Universities. Courses are approved by the Oregon State Board of Education. At Linn-Benton Community College, our values serve as the foundation that inspires our actions and unites us as a community.
