Welcome to LSTC -

Linn State Technical College (LSTC) is a small, caring community dedicated to developing the potential of each student. Class sizes are purposely kept small to encourage individual attention  and instructor-student interaction. The student body consists of traditional students who recently graduated from high school as well as working adults making a career change or enhancing their technical skills. While the majority of students are from Missouri, increasing numbers are from other states and countries.  

Most programs offered by LSTC are located on the main campus in Linn, Missouri, with a few programs offered at off-campus locations. The Physical Therapist Assistant program is located in the Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City, Missouri. The Automation & Robotics Technology and Nuclear Technology programs are located in Mexico, Missouri at the Advanced Technology Center (ATC).

LSTC encourages students to explore nontraditional careers. Today more and more females are pursuing technical careers. LSTC celebrates diversity and will assist and support you as you make your dreams a reality.
