Electives
Students should consult with a counselor to select electives that will support their educational objectives. Elective credits should be focused for the most part in the Communications, Arts and Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Sciences categories.
Students may apply excess credits from each of the degree areas shown above to the Electives area.
Students should complete the remaining credits for the degree from either additional Ohio Transfer 36 courses or from any college-level courses as general electives.
(NOTE: The one-credit physical activity courses (PEHR 1101 Aerobic Conditioning through PEHR 1126 Suspension Training and DANC 1108 Basic Ballet through DANC 1110 Basic Modern Dance) cannot be applied to the degree requirements.)
Some four-year colleges require completion of one or two years of course work in Modern/Foreign Languages. Students should check to see if the institution to which they plan to transfer includes this requirement.
Students seeking to improve their computer skills/knowledge needed at Lakeland and elsewhere are encouraged to take ITIS 1000 Basic Computer Skills or ITIS 1005 Computer Essentials, which meets the Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) requirement for Ohio’s Articulation and Transfer Policy.
Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways
The Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTPs) enable students to streamline credit transfer among the state's public institutions of higher education to find the best pathways to degree completion and launch successful careers.
The OGTPs are designed to provide a clearer path to degree completion for students pursuing associate degrees who plan to transfer to an Ohio public university to complete their bachelor’s degree. The OGTPs also constitute an agreement between public community colleges and universities confirming that community college courses meet major preparation requirements and will be counted and applied toward the bachelor’s degree. Students still must meet all university program admission requirements.
A student who completes all of the coursework within a major-specific Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathway (OGTP) will be eligible to earn an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science degree from an Ohio public community college. The completion of the OGTP will be recorded on the student’s transcript, and upon transfer to an Ohio public university, all coursework taken as part of the pathway will transfer to the university toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree in an equivalent field.
Students are encouraged to communicate transfer plans early and consult with a counselor to discuss the options available through the Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways.
