LRCC degree, certificate, and career training programs are designed to meet the educational and workforce needs of the Lakes Region. Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities will be offered regardless of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, gender identity or expression, genetic information, or veteran status. LRCC reduces barriers to future career and educational opportunities for area residents by helping them upskill with general academic and technical education, as well as customized business and industry training. View the CTE program details at LRCC.edu

Entry to a specific degree, certificate, or workforce development program varies depending on the program and credentialing requirements through designated accrediting bodies. LRCC degree and certificate programs require students to complete the application and acceptance process through the Admissions Office. All of the LRCC degree programs require that students complete a math class. To ensure that students are placed in the correct math class, students are required to take a math placement exam.  Please review specific program details and requirements at lrcc.edu/programs/
