CLEVELAND, WI —
With applications to Lakeshore Technical College (LTC) for this coming fall at a level not seen by the college since 2012-2013, interest in gaining an education appears to be on the rise in the lakeshore area. Applications are up 38 percent over this past school year.
“This significant increase in applications tells us lakeshore area residents are not only seeing the value in obtaining an education today, but also doing so close to home,” said LTC President Dr. Paul Carlsen. “Many of our students are working and raising families while attending LTC. Being able to gain a high-quality education close by is important to them.”
Carlsen stated other reasons for the increases may include the fact LTC has been offering in-person learning since last fall and recently announced guaranteed in-person learning for fall 2021. In addition, the college’s streamlined admissions process does not require testing or high school transcripts, and there is no application fee.
Applications for fall 2021 are still being accepted.
