What classes or programs are right for me?
The Admissions and Student Engagement Team can help you explore what LCC has to offer. Also, you can take the Interest Assessment and browse careers. Program and class options are also listed below.
Can I afford this?
LCC's average one year (two semesters), full-time enrollment cost is around $4,300 for an in-district resident and $7,800 for an in-state student. At four-year universities, you could be paying upwards of $10,000 a year in tuition alone. A cost comparison is featured below.
LCC offers scholarships, grants, work-study and tuition payment plans to help you fund your education. Learn more ways to cover your education costs at lcc.edu/fa.
What if I'm not comfortable taking classes online?
Online learning may not be everyone's first choice. To address this, LCC has taken extra steps in adapting its online courses for all learning styles. While online learning often takes more discipline, LCC faculty, academic success coaches, professional tutors, Library staff, advisors, and student support staff are dedicated to ensuring your success online. We are with you every step of the way.
