Notes
Revised June 2019 (effective Fall 2019)
*It is recommended that sequence courses be completed at one institution.
Baccalaureate institutions party to this agreement are: UW Seattle, WSU, EWU, Gonzaga U, St. Martin's U, Seattle Pacific U, Seattle U and Walla Walla U.
Additional general educational requirements, cultural diversity requirements, and foreign language requirements, as required by the receiving institution, must be met prior to the completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Program planning is based on information available at the time of preparation. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with their LCC advisor and with an advisor at the college to which they plan to transfer for specific requirements. Consult the LCC catalog for LCC graduation requirements.
Most four-year universities require one year of a single foreign language as a graduation requirement.
