Lebanon College's programs and courses are designed to benefit the entire community, ensure economic growth, broaden employment opportunities, and contribute toward critical thought, and creative expression in all aspects of society.

Located in the center of the Twin States of New Hampshire and Vermont, Lebanon College's administrative offices, computer labs, library and classrooms are in the Historical District of downtown Lebanon, New Hampshire, overlooking the pedestrian mall of the city. The College also offers courses and programs at various schools, galleries, and museums outside the immediate area.
