Lewis and Clark Community College

Lewis and Clark Community College occupies a 215-acre campus in Godfrey, Illinois, located along the Mississippi River approximately 25 miles north of St. Louis, Missouri. The main campus incorporates the grounds of the former Monticello College, a women's college that operated from 1838 to 1971, and features several historic buildings in Classical Revival style, including the Caldwell House which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The two-year public institution serves students primarily from Madison, Jersey, Macoupin, and Greene counties, offering associate degrees and career certificates across technical, health sciences, and transfer programs. The college maintains satellite education centers in Edwardsville, Alton, and East Alton, with notable programs in nursing, dental hygiene, and process operations technology developed in partnership with regional industries.
