DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES OFFERED AT LASSEN
Choosing a degree or certificate can be difficult. Take a Career, Interest and Skills survey at the Career & Transfer Center. This survey can help you determine the right career or major for you. Bring the results when you meet with your counselor. This list of our DEGREES & CERTIFICATES will get you started. You can also pick up curriculum guides for every degree/certificate we offer from the racks outside the Counseling Office.
CURRENT STUDENTS
It’s best to meet with your counselor at least once every semester, and more often if you are having academic or personal concerns. Be sure to make an appointment for a comprehensive Education Plan during your 2nd semester.
EDUCATION PLANS
- An Education Plan is a semester by semester guide to ensure you are taking all the classes you need to complete your degree or certificate.
- An Ed Plan prevents you from taking classes you don’t need – saving you time and money.
- A comprehensive Ed Plan should be completed by your second semester at Lassen College.
- Appointments for Ed Plans are made in Sept/Oct (Fall Semester) and Feb/March (Spring Semester)
