LCC is committed to helping its graduates gain four valuable Essential Learning Outcomes: knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural world, intellectual and practical skills, personal and social responsibility, and integrated and applied learning. With these strengths, our graduates will be better able to develop the life skills necessary for them to enrich and support themselves, their families, and their communities as engaged global citizens.

All associate degrees therefore incorporate LCC General Education requirements fostering the capabilities and the flexibility that employers look for, and that citizens of the twenty-first century need. Depending on their chosen degrees, students will successfully complete the options in the appropriate tab above.

Appropriate transfer credit from other colleges and universities, along with credit from Advanced Placement (AP), College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST), International Baccalaureate (IB), credit by examination, and credit for experiential learning, is applicable toward LCC General Education requirements for all degrees, including degrees that otherwise would require completion of the full MTA. However, due to statewide rules, areas of prior learning such as CLEP, DSST, IB, credit by examination, and credit for experiential learning are not applicable to the MTA endorsement at this time.

Transfer degrees (Mta)

A course that is transferred to LCC from another college or university and is not equivalent to a specific LCC course may be used to satisfy MTA if it is a general education course, fits into one of the MTA areas, and meets LCC's MTA Guidelines. To have such a course considered for MTA, complete and submit the MTA Course Substitution Request form to the Academic Affairs Office.

Courses taken before Fall Semester 1993 will not automatically satisfy the MTA requirement. To request the use of these courses, complete and submit the MTA Course Substitution Request form.

For further information and advising, contact Academic Advising in the StarZone in the Gannon Building, or call 517-483-1200 option 4 or email eadvising@lcc.edu.
