How will the change of ownership affect the future of Laurel Community College (LCC)?

Prince George's Community College is currently developing and reviewing several options regarding what LCC will look like in the summer of 2024. This may include a new vision and identity for LCC as we look at opportunities within the College and how we can best serve the community.

Is Prince George's Community College seeking a new partnership?

Prince George’s Community College will maintain its partnerships with four-year institutions, including its ongoing collaboration with the University of Maryland Global Campus, Washington Adventist University, Morgan State University, and Bowie State University. These partnerships are instrumental in the College’s operations and status as a Regional Higher Education Center. Exploring potential new partnerships is one of the viable options for LCC’s future strategic planning.

What are the significant programmatic changes that will occur at LCC as a result of the change in partnership?

Over the next year, there will be no substantial programmatic changes. LCC will remain a destination where students can complete the Associate of Arts in Psychology, Associate of Arts in General Studies, and Associate of Science in Business Administration.

What classes did the partnership with Howard Community College offer at LCC that is no longer available in the future?

All previously available courses directly leading to the programs listed above will remain offered at LCC. LCC will also continue offering additional prerequisite classes outside the programs as scheduled.

Will there be a loss of any other partnerships that may have occurred because of the partnership with HCC?

Prince George’s Community College’s four-year university partners are dedicated to collaborating with the College to ensure the academic success of all students.

Are LCC jobs impacted?

As outlined in the President’s message, we remain committed to providing comprehensive support to PGCC staff at LCC. We will continue to offer the full course schedule without any anticipated reductions in faculty, staff, or services at the LCC location.

How does this change the way we market and promote LCC?

The marketing component will receive a complete overhaul. Several promotional activities, such as direct mail postcards, in-person open houses, and digital, will continue with the addition of new marketing initiatives, including market research, streaming television and radio, and a presence in the Washington Commanders Yearbook.
