2018-2019 Degree and Certificate Program Pathways

If you first enrolled in courses in the academic year 2018-2019 (as indicated on your web transcript), you may select the degree and certificate programs below or any degree or certificate program available after the 2018-2019 academic year. Effective dates are listed on each individual program map. Unsure of what program you are interested in following? Visit our Academics page.

Prior to beginning any curriculum, students should contact an advisor to create a My Academic Pathway (MAP) in Degree Works.  You can contact an advisor in the Academic Advising Department, Gannon Building - StarZone, by phone 517-483-1200 option 4, or by email (eadvising@lcc.edu).

Note: Students are expected to ensure their program of study and the catalog year is always accurate in Banner Self Service. If the program of study you are following has changed, or if the catalog year is no longer valid because the effective dates have passed, your record must be updated by submitting a Program and Catalog Year Update Request form via the Registrar Forms webpage.

LCC makes every effort to limit revisions to the pathways during their effective timeframe.  However, the College reserves the right to update certificate and degree title changes, and make course changes as needed, without prior notice.

Associate of Arts/Associate of Science Degrees

The Associate of Arts (AA) and the Associate of Science (AS) degrees are primarily transfer degrees designed for students who intend to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree. Certain other degree types, as spelled out on the individual program pathways, may be intended for transfer as well. Students completing these degrees will also satisfy the Michigan Transfer Agreement between the majority of two-year and four-year institutions in Michigan.

General education and subject area requirements vary from one college or university to another. Students should contact the school to which they may transfer for specific transfer institution requirements (See Transfer Information for a list of institutions for which transfer guides are available.)

Applied Degrees and Certificates

Applied awards, including, for example, the Associate of Applied Arts (AAA) degree, Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree, Associate of Business (AB), and certificates, are designed primarily for students who seek education and the acquisition of skills needed to enter the job market or to advance their current careers. Not all courses in these programs transfer to all colleges. Students planning to transfer should see an academic advisor before enrolling in any course.
