Colleges and universities in the consortium—and counting.
Students at LCMC member institutions.
Full degree programs, built by academics, experts, and industry leaders.
Faculty-Governed and Led
Faculty governance is the cornerstone of small private college education. All of our collaborative majors therefore pass through your faculty governance process.
Small Class Sizes
These programs are designed for the low student-to-faculty ratio and personalized attention that small colleges are built on.
4-Year On-Campus Instruction
LCMC majors enhance the on-campus college experience central to student development.
Institutional Autonomy
The consortium designs the programs, and each school decides whether and how to participate on their own terms.
Liberal Arts
We believe liberal arts are an ideal core for any field of study. We strongly value the critical thinking skills and cultural awareness students gain from a liberal arts foundation.
No Compromise on Quality
Our vision is to improve outcomes and reduce tuition through the establishment of new collaborative majors—designed by leading experts, taught by your own faculty.
