Transfer, Occupational and Developmental Courses

Adult Basic and Secondary Education Courses

Lincoln Land Community College offers a wide variety of courses for students. Transfer courses provide college degree-credits transferable to most senior colleges and universities. Occupational courses are primarily intended for students who are pursuing a technical education in preparation for employment. Many occupational courses are transferable, while many transfer courses are required in occupational programs of study. Developmental courses are designed to help students improve basic academic skills in reading, mathematics and composition in preparation for further study in transfer and occupational credit courses. Adult basic education courses provide instruction in reading, writing and math for adults who range from non-readers through eighth-grade reading competency. These courses also give instruction in career development. Adult secondary education courses are specifically designed to prepare students for the General Education Development (GED) examination. English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are designed for the non-native English speaker. The beginning courses focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Comprehension, pronunciation, vocabulary, basic grammar and structure and communication are emphasized at the intermediate level. The primary objective for advanced level ESL students is refinement of English proficiency to enable students to participate confidently in academic and business environments. Vocational studies courses are career-oriented courses that provide college credit which in most cases is not transferable.

Some courses are designated as "on demand." Students interested in these courses should discuss their interests with the appropriate department chairs and complete class interest cards. These cards are available at the registration counter in Menard Hall or at centers throughout the district.
