College Catalog
The LBCC College Catalog is published each year and is also available on the college website. It contains information on admission to the college, campus procedures, student support and special programs, graduation requirements, degrees and certificate and transfer information, a list and description of all approved college courses, and a listing of full-time faculty and administrators with their disciplines and degrees.

Class Schedule
A Class Schedule is published each fall, summer, and spring and is available in the bookstore before the semester begins and at various locations on campus. An online version of the schedule is available on the college website. The schedule contains registration and fee information as well as a list of courses offered for a specific term.

Curriculum
The curriculum area is responsible for the creation of the college catalog of curriculum, instructional programs, policies and staff for a variety of audiences. Curriculum documents are reviewed for compliance with legal requirements and adherence to good practice document preparation. Working within the peer review process, new courses and changes to existing courses are recommended for approval. Technical assistance is provided to college colleagues.

Scheduling
The scheduling area is responsible for the production process that creates the schedule of classes. Technical assistance regarding scheduling is provided to college colleagues. The course portion of the class schedule is provided for a variety of audiences. The offerings portion of the schedule of classes is reviewed to quality control for legal requirements, college policy, and collective bargaining provisions.

Honors Program
For over a quarter of a century, high-achieving LBCC students have flocked to the college’s Honors Program for the intellectual challenge it offers. Students who complete the program earn priority consideration for admission to select public and private universities. Honors classes are more intensive than usual classes, encouraging and rewarding critical thought and individual research through an interactive classroom experience.

Study Abroad
Did you know that you can take some of your LBCC classes in a foreign country? Every summer we offer study abroad programs in interesting places throughout the world. Our classes are fully accredited, fully transferable, and taught by LBCC faculty. It’s just as if you were taking them at LAC or PCC—except you’re taking them in a foreign country! Imagine studying Spanish in Spain, German in Germany, French in Paris, art in Ireland, geography in Australia, or sociology in Ghana… You can imagine what a unique experience this would be! Your learning experience would no longer be limited to the classroom: it would surround you 24/7! These are only some of the programs that we have offered. Expand your horizons with LBCC!

Learning Communities
A learning community is a way for students to enroll in one or more courses that are “packaged” together. These courses are taught by supportive instructors and counselors who work closely with each other and the students to help students develop the confidence and tools they need to succeed.
