It’s Your Move: Start College in January

If you answered yes to any of the above, Lakeshore College can get you started on – or back on – the path to a college degree. Dozens of Lakeshore programs within 13 career areas offer start dates in January, or even later during the spring semester. 

Starting college in the spring has its advantages. In addition to having the opportunity for a fresh start to a new chapter in your life at the beginning of a new year, you’re likely to receive more timely attention due to fewer new students competing for faculty and staff time. Class sizes may also be smaller, allowing you to get to know your fellow students better.

Lakeshore makes it easy to fit college around your life, even when your current schedule includes working, parenting, caregiving, or volunteering. From learning 100% online any time of day to learning in person at night on campus, and everything in between, we’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits your needs.

Advancing Your Education Pays

Education can lead to not only more career satisfaction but also more financial stability. 

• Statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics show individuals ages 25-34 working year-round and having an associate degree earning 18% more than individuals having only completed high school.
• In Lakeshore’s most recent graduate survey, associate degree grads reported median annual earnings of $55,698 within six months of graduating.

 And over decades and a lifetime, earnings differentials grow significantly higher.
