From the President:
So what is an institute?
Well, we are very different from your typical community college! An institute is an organizational body that is created for a certain purpose and may be a part of a university system. With a FY 2015 enrollment (credit, non-credit, and dual-credit) of 6,946 students, LIT is a proud member of the Texas State University System. Our sole certain purpose is to provide technical skills/training that help to transform lives and drive the economic vitality in the communities we serve.
