LSC bachelor\u2019s degree students are trained in local facilities using the latest technology to ensure they are ready to enter the workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">In addition, your tuition does not change in order to earn an LSC bachelor\u2019s degree. That means you pay the same low, affordable rates as two-year students, saving you thousands of dollars each semester. Plus, LSC bachelor\u2019s degree programs provide smaller class sizes leading to more interaction with professors and increased learning opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">LSC bachelor\u2019s degree students also take advantage of flexible learning options, perfect for \u201cnon-traditional\u201d students who are returning as older adults, or those who are already employed, but looking for a better career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cI have had a passion to complete my bachelor\u2019s degree since I got my associate degree,\u201d said Gustavus. \u201cFor various reasons, it was not feasible until now. Lone Star College having a bachelor\u2019s degree program really made it possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that people with a bachelor\u2019s degree earn $19,000 a year more than those with an associate degree and are also less likely to be unemployed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">LSC will offer a fourth bachelor\u2019s degree, Emergency Management, in the fall to help address the growing need for this service. Emergency management directors prepare plans and procedures for responding to natural disasters or other emergencies. They also help lead the response during and after crisis situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cBuilding on the success of our three current bachelor\u2019s degree programs, Lone Star College is ready to provide even more bachelor\u2019s degrees for high-demand careers,\u201d said Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., LSC chancellor. \u201cThis is a wonderful opportunity for Lone Star College students who want to continue their education close to home and at an affordable tuition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Want to learn more?
