In July 2012, SoLAcc merged with the Acadiana Technical Colleges, thereby making SoLAcc a comprehensive community college with campuses in eight parishes. It is one of the largest community colleges in Louisiana with more than 7,000 students enrolled. SoLAcc awards associate degrees, transfer degrees, technical diplomas, and certifications.
The college is administered from the main Lafayette campus, which consists of three buildings. The Devalcourt Building contains the main lobby of the college, as well as most general education classes.[6] The Ted Ardoin building houses the welding department and many other technical training programs, as well as Financial Aid. In 2016, a new building was erected, containing 3 floors, known as the Health and Sciences building. This contains the Nursing Program, as well as the Administrative Suite and other classrooms.
Academicsedit
SoLAcc is divided into four academic divisions, including:[7]
Business, Information Technology, and Technical Studies
Liberal Arts and Humanities
STEM, Transportation, and Energy
Nursing and Allied Health
The college offers 2-year Associates degrees, as well as industry and technical training, with over 50 programs available.
South Louisiana Community College was recognized by the Aspen Institute as a top 150 community college in 2023.[8]
Schools of Choiceedit
Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS) added a "School of Choice"[9] called the Early College Academy[10] in 2008, which gives high school students (grades 9–12) a chance to graduate with a high school diploma as well as a two-year associate degree in the field of their choice. Students take all courses on the campus of South Louisiana Community College, and most school days begin at 8:30 and end around 4 p.m. It is the only school of its kind in the state of Louisiana.
