Linn State Technical College

School Overview:

School Notes:

• Linn Technical College, supported by a grant to the Osage County R-II School District from the National Defense Education Act of 1958, offered its first program in electronics in the fall of 1961. The College continued to be governed by the Osage County R-II School Board until July 1, 1996 when the Board of Regents accepted full responsibility for the institution as Linn State Technical College. It became Missouri's first and only public institution devoted solely to technical education at the Associate of Applied Science level.
• Linn State Technical College is a small, Midwestern caring community dedicated to the development of the potential of each student. Class sizes are purposely kept small to encourage adequate individual attention and faculty-student interaction. The student body consists of traditional students who recently graduated from high school as well as working adults making a career shift or enhancing technical skills. While the majority of students are from Missouri, increasing numbers are from other states and countries.
• The main campus of the college is located on a 249-acre site just east of Linn along US Highway 50 in rural central Missouri, 25 minutes east of Jefferson City. The campus houses nine academic buildings, a student residential complex and a 3,400 X 60 foot paved runway. Students from 114 of Missouri's 115 counties have enrolled at LSTC since 1996.
• While the main campus in Linn houses most of the College's offerings, four programs are offered at off-campus Missouri locations. The Physical Therapist Assistant program is located in the Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City. The Integrated Manufacturing Technology, Laser/ Photonics Technology, and Nuclear Technology programs are located in Mexico, Missouri, at the advanced Technology Center (ATC).
• The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of North Central Association.
