Lamar State College Orange

Lamar State College Orange is a two-year public institution located in Orange, Texas, situated near the Louisiana border and approximately 110 miles east of Houston. The campus sits along the banks of the Sabine River in a small-town setting and serves as part of the Texas State University System. The college primarily offers associate degrees and technical certificates, with notable programs in nursing, industrial technology, and business management. Students can access traditional classroom buildings and technical training facilities, though the institution operates as a commuter campus without on-campus housing. Since its establishment in 1969 as an extension center of Lamar University, LSCO has developed into an independent college focused on workforce education and academic transfer programs for the Southeast Texas region.
