Most majors at LBCC require you to take a math and a writing class. We'll help you decide which courses will be the best fit for you and your skill level.
These are general guides. Check with an advisor to see which writing and math pathways your program needs. To schedule a placement exam, visit the Testing Center.
Writing
All students can take WR 121Z and its support course WR 121Q (students needing to satisfy specific program requirements or who want to work on their skills first can take WR 115).
