Lorain County Community College received final approval today from the Ohio Department of Higher Education to offer Ohio’s first bachelor of applied science in microelectronic manufacturing.  As one of only three community colleges in the state and the only one in Northeast Ohio, LCCC is now better positioned to lead a new era of community college education focused on connecting students to high-paying, in-demand jobs.
