The Early College Lansing Community College

The Early College at Lansing Community College (LCC), operated in partnership with the Ingham Intermediate School District (ISD), is a specialized academic program designed to provide high school students with a head start on their post-secondary education. By blending high school curriculum with college-level coursework, the program allows eligible students to earn both their high school diploma and a significant number of transferable college credits—or even an associate degree—simultaneously. This model is intended to reduce the time and financial burden of traditional college pathways by leveraging the resources and facilities of LCC.

The program is structured to support students through a rigorous, college-going culture while providing the necessary academic scaffolding to ensure success in a university environment. Located in downtown Lansing, the school serves students from the surrounding Ingham County area, offering them exposure to college faculty and a diverse range of academic disciplines. It is an ideal environment for students who are academically motivated and prepared to take on the independence and responsibility of collegiate studies before graduating from high school.
