Loc (LeMoyne-Owen College) is a prestigious four-year liberal arts college that offers a transformative educational experience to its students, equipping them for future professional success. Located in the vibrant urban center of Memphis, Tennessee, our campus is immersed in a rich cultural atmosphere. Situated in the historic Soulsville district, where iconic soul classics were recorded at Stax Records, Loc has been an integral part of the community since its establishment in 1914.

As Memphis' only historically black college with a history dating back to 1862, Loc takes pride in its tradition of educating notable alumni, including esteemed doctors, lawyers, and politicians. With a lower student enrollment and a one-campus academic footprint, our institution fosters a supportive home away from home environment, allowing students to develop meaningful connections with their peers, faculty, and staff. Loc actively encourages student and faculty engagement beyond the campus through various volunteer opportunities, including mentoring and student teaching.

Our institution upholds a philosophy of giving back, mirroring the spirit of Memphis as a city that values both time and treasure. Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), Loc offers baccalaureate and associate degrees
