Transfer Guides and Articulation Agreements

It is possible to take one, two or three years of coursework at LCC and transfer those credits to a four-year program leading to certification. The following curriculum guides list LCC courses that students should take when preparing to transfer. They also provide key information about application requirements and admission procedures. Guides marked with an asterisk (*) are articulation agreements and represent a contract between Lansing Community College and the transfer school. Articulation agreements guarantee transferability of credits (with a 2.0 or better) to a specific education program.
