The transfer partnership program between Lansing Community College and

with the Atlanta University Complex (Spelman College, Morehouse University,
Clark-Atlanta University and Morris Brown College).
ln line with the college mission, the LCC/AUC/HBCU Transfer Program
has developed "learning and enrichment opportunities to improve each
student’s quality of life and standard of living."
The LCC/AUC/HBCU Partnership prepares students for a four-year institution
through a monitored credit transfer program. Eligible students will
participate in a comprehensive program that will facilitate transfer of
credits from LCC to one of our AUC/HBCU partners.
Each student will be monitored and will receive motivational and academic
support throughout the program. The LCC/AUC/HBCU Transfer Program will
provide students with an opportunity to experience college life while living
at home, as well as time for personal and academic growth before attending a
four-year institution.
