International students love our 2+2 option. It saves them money and provides a direct transfer to their chosen university.
Our 2+2 option is for students that want to transfer to a four-year university. Students earn their two-year associates degree at LCC and then transfer to complete a bachelor's degree in 2 more years. We partner with many schools to ensure a seamless transition and help students achieve their ultimate goal. This option saves money with lower tuition for the first two years and helps international students with their transition to America style academics. We can help you apply to transfer to a university at any point of your study at LCC.

- Low Cost: LCC has much lower tuition and living expenses than four-year universities.
- Pathway to University: Doing well at LCC helps you easily transfer to a top university.
- Student Support: LCC offers personal and individual assistance to help you successfully transfer.
