LANSING, Mich. — Lansing Community College is now offering an associate degree in insurance and risk management.
LCC Insurance Program Chair, Mary Stucko said, “LCC is the first community college in Michigan to offer an associate degree in insurance and risk management. This program provides a wonderful opportunity for those in our region and across the state to enter the insurance field.”
As a crisis looms on the horizon in the insurance industry, LCC stands poised to make a significant impact in the worker shortage dilemma.
With the goal of creating a vibrant insurance professional workforce, a group comprised of insurance professionals and educational leaders have come together to provide strategy, recommendations and a keen sense of urgency designed to face the talent crisis head-on.
The insurance program offers the opportunity to enter the 2+2 program with Olivet College or Ferris State University, allowing them to complete their first two years and obtain an associate degree at LCC, and then transfer to Olivet or Ferris to complete their bachelor’s degree. Students can choose to enter a 3+1 program that grants a bachelor’s degree after three years at LCC and a final year at Northwood University.
Additionally, LCC is the only community college in the country to offer students in the insurance program the unique opportunity to become a part of insurance fraternity Gamma Iota Sigma, where students will learn, network and develop as insurance industry professionals.
