Areas of Study
The subject you
would like to study is given many titles in the United States It
may be referred to as area of study, concentration, curriculum
(plural curricula), major, or program. To obtain the F-1 or M-1
student visa, a program of study must be listed on the I-20 form;
therefore, you must list a curriculum on your application. DHS
regulations do not allow the F-1 or M-1 student to chose
"undecided" as a program. If you are uncertain of what you want to
study (undecided), we recommend that you select, 0251-Liberal
Arts, because it allows the largest choice of courses. Our
counselors and academic advisors will be happy to assist you
during your studies at LCC to develop your educational and career
plans.
If the major you desire or the university where you would like to
transfer is not listed here, include your preference in your
personal statement, and we will assist you in making a choice.
Curricular guides list the courses and graduation requirements for
each area of study at LCC. Curricular guides for programs listed
under Certificate of Achievement, Certificate of Completion, and
Associate Degree are printed in the
LCC catalog. Curricular guides
for transfer programs are available by calling or writing the
Admissions Office. You will need to provide the name and number of
each guide that you would like us to mail to you. Guides mailed to
a U.S. address are sent first-class mail; guides mailed outside
the United States are sent air mail.
The associate degree (2 year career programs) prepares an
individual for a specific type of employment that requires in the
United States only two years of college preparation. Employment in
these careers in your country may require more or less college
study.
Transfer programs are careers where two years of college study is
usually not sufficient for employment in this field. Additional
study is undertaken at the university level for the third and
fourth year resulting in the bachelor's degree. If your long-term
educational goal is to obtain the bachelor's degree, you should
select a transfer program rather than an associate degree career
program.
All students at LCC, including international students, are
eligible to change their curriculum. However, F-1 students,
according to DHS regulations, must meet with the LCC International
Student Advisor to discuss a change of curriculum before beginning
to study in the new curriculum. M-1 students who wish to change
curriculum are restricted by DHS regulations in many ways. Your
advisor will be happy to discuss your options with you.
During your study at LCC, our international student counselors and
academic advisors will be available to assist you in preparing to
complete an associate degree or obtaining information about
completing a transfer program, including preparing for admission
to the transfer institution of your choice. It is the student's
responsibility to meet the admission requirements of the transfer
institution.
