Central Bound Partnership
Central Bound is a unique dual-admission and co-enrollment agreement between Lansing Community College and Central Michigan University designed to make earning a four-year degree more flexible, affordable and convenient for students.
The institutions came together to make the partnership official on November 19, 2025
and anticipate the first cohort in Fall 2026.
Students interested in the program will apply at both LCC and CMU and will have access
to financial aid throughout their academic journey. The program is open to prospective
students and students currently enrolled at LCC and CMU.
Central Bound participants also have the option to complete their CMU classes on the university’s Mount Pleasant campus or through CMU Online, depending on their major, which provides additional flexibility.
