Special Admission Programs

Some of Lake Land College’s programs are considered “special admission programs” which means that acceptance into these programs is competitive. Students must complete an application procedure and meet specific criteria to be admitted to a special admission program. Enrollment into the College does not guarantee admission into a special admission program.
