The students and faculty build a learning community which supports them throughout their enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube alignright wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Accelerated Degree Program\" width=\"848\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F_tP9WKEwOU?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first cohort, forming for a January start, will take courses fully online until public health recommendations allow for in-person classes. Normally, the program uses a hybrid model: students would attend class one night per week on the LFCC campus, with other coursework online.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is another opportunity to work with EMU to provide students in our service region with an extremely convenient pathway to a bachelor\u2019s degree that many probably would not otherwise feel is a realistic option,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/lfcc.edu\/employee-directory\/james-gillispie\/\">James Gillispie<\/a>, dean of the School of Humanities and Social Studies at LFCC. \u201cThe fact that students can attend EMU regularly without going <em>to<\/em>\u00a0EMU is such a great benefit and path to get a four-year degree without leaving home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think this will be a wonderful way for students in our area to get that degree they need to make a better life for themselves and their families. I thank all the people at EMU for all their help in getting this plan ready to roll out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/faculty-staff\/?show=db252\">David Brubaker<\/a><\/strong>, dean of EMU\u2019s School of Social Sciences and Professions in which the Leadership and Organizational Management degree program is housed, noted the collaboration with LFCC administrators. \u201cWhat most impressed me about working with LFCC leadership was their shared commitment to make creative options available to their students and alums in order to strengthen their career prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who have completed LFCC\u2019s business administration, management, accounting, computer and information technology, and human services or other related programs and meet admissions criteria will be guaranteed admission to EMU\u2019s program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, students having completed other associate of arts and sciences degrees or associate of science degrees, or earning 48 or more transferable semester hours, will also be guaranteed admission provided they meet admission criteria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants must meet the following criteria:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>48 or more transferable semester hours,&nbsp;<\/li><li>cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, 23 years of age or older,<\/li><li>at least one year of full-time work experience, preferably incorporating some leadership experiences, and&nbsp;<\/li><li>completion of EMU\u2019s fee-waived application process.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>LFCC students who want to take advantage of this opportunity should contact their LFCC advisor to make sure their academic plans meet EMU requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can further maximize their savings by learning more about financial aid opportunities through EMU\u2019s Financial Aid office.
