NOTES:
1. This transfer guide supports an articulation (partnership) agreement
between Lansing Community College and Ferris State University that allows
students who have earned an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice at LCC to
transfer the identified credits toward a Bachelor's of Science in Criminal
Justice-Generalist Option degree at Ferris State University. The remaining
FSU courses for the BS in Criminal Justice can be taken on LCC's campus.
Additionally, FSU extends financial aid benefits to students in Lansing who
have earned a minimum of 64 semester credits.
2. Students must complete the MACRAO Transfer Agreement with the MACRAO Stamp
on their transcripts or meet the FSU General Education Requirements with a
2.0 cumulative GPA. Students should work closely with Shari Chamberlain,
FSU Admissions Transfer Counselor (see below), for the selection of any
credits not included on this guide to ensure transferability of courses.
3. Students may substitute WRIT 131 and 132 in place of WRIT 121 and 122.

at least two LCC courses that transfer as 300+ level courses to FSU.

LCC catalog at http://www.lcc.edu/catalog for additional details.
