Gainful Employment Disclosure Information
Beginning July 1, 2011, the US Department of Education requires each college to disclose a variety of information for any financial aid eligible program that “prepares students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.” With one year of data collected, LCC has provided our current and prospective students with the best information available. This information may be helpful as you make career and educational choices.
