College Overview

Northeast Lakeview College was officially established in January 2007 as the newest institution of the Alamo Colleges. However, the campus traces its beginnings back to 1996 as the Northeast Learning Center on Toepperwein, an extension of St. Philip’s College. In the late 1990’s, Northeast community leaders acknowledged the need for college services in the area and conducted extensive research to determine student need and a site for the new campus.

After completion of the study, it was decided that a northeast campus is not only possible, but necessary. In June 2000, ACCD purchased a site of land at 7990 Pat Booker Road. Renovations began on the property and in Spring 2001, the first classes at Northeast Campus, an extension of St. Philip’s and San Antonio College, were held. Many of the initial students enrolled here had previously attended classes at the Northeast Learning Center. The Northeast Campus continued to grow and hold classes at this location until Fall 2006.

Outgrowing its current facility, Alamo Colleges purchased and renovated a former grocery store slightly down the road at 8300 Pat Booker Road and opened for classes in Fall 2006. Enrollment has grown rapidly from only 500 students in 2001 to more than 3,400 today.

In Fall 2008, the first phase of the new Northeast Lakeview College campus began operations.  The permanent site for Northeast Lakeview College sits on 245 acres at the corner of Loop 1604 and Kitty Hawk Rd. The new campus is now fully-operational and houses nine buildings that provides over 365,000 square feet of academic space.

With its unique and diverse background, Northeast Lakeview College serves students from the ten Metrocom Communities and northeast San Antonio, including Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties. Northeast Lakeview College continues to operate under a partnership between San Antonio College and St. Philip’s College and offers a variety of degree plans and a full course selection. At capacity, Northeast Lakeview College will serve over 15,000 students.
