flexible options

SLCC partenered with the University of Lafayette to offer several Engineering Pathway 2+2 articulation agreements. The agreements allow students to complete 60 credit hours during a two-year tenure at SLCC and earn an associate degree. Those credits then transfer UL Lafayette, where the student accrues another 60 hours over the remaining two-year period to earn a bachelor’s degree, which requires a minimum 120 hours to complete.

Transferrable degrees include:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Civil Enginering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Petroleum Engineering
