Pre-Law and Pre-Med
LCCC to CSU Pathway
Lorain County Community College and Cleveland State University offer two new Transfer Pathways Pre-Med and Pre-Law. Students are offered significant savings* by completing two years at LCCC before transferring to CSU to complete these professional programs.
Pre-Med
Students who graduate with the LCCC Associates of Science degree can transfer to Cleveland State University (CSU) to complete the last two years on the CSU campus. LCCC and CSU have created two pathway options that would lead to either a Bachelor of Science in Health Science or a Bachelor of Science in Biology.
Associate of Science to Bachelor of Science in Biology Transfer Pathway
Associate of Science to Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences Transfer Pathway

In Pre-Law, LCCC students can complete their Associate of Arts with a concentration in Philosophy, Political Science, or Urban Studies, before transferring to CSU to complete their law degree. The State of Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) has approved a pathway for CSU undergraduate students to receive their bachelor’s and law school degree in six years rather than seven years.
