Curriculum
Your 60-credit-hour program consists of the LTU Core Curriculum and additional coursework.
While enrolled in the general studies program, students preparing to enter Lawrence Tech's four-year degree programs will complete courses that fulfill the general education requirements common to all curricula. In most cases, students will also have the opportunity to complete foundational courses specific to their intended majors, provided that the applicable course prerequisites have been satisfied. Initial course selections will be determined on the basis of students' placement assessment results.
To be eligible to transfer into a four-year major, students must have achieved satisfactory performance in a minimum of 12 credit hours of coursework, including specific courses applicable to their programs of choice. Students must see their academic advisors for additional information on course prerequisites, appropriate choices for elective courses, transfer eligibility requirements, and further information specific to their degree programs.
