Senior Field trip to LBCC
This year, Long Beach City College and Cal State Long Beach will start a Dual Admission Program, also known as the Long Beach College Promise 2.0, for Long Beach Unified School District students in fall 2019.
Once accepted to CSULB, LBUSD students graduating in Spring 2019 who are interested in participating in the Long Beach College Promise 2.0 will be admitted to both CSULB and LBCC. Students will agree to take the first two years of coursework at LBCC, and then transfer to CSULB to complete the remainder of their bachelor’s degree.
By entering into the Dual Admission Program, LBUSD students would benefit by:
• Paying a lower tuition rate by attending LBCC, including free tuition for the first year;
• Earning up to two degrees with an associate degree from LBCC and a bachelor’s degree from CSULB;
• Ensuring a smooth transition from LBCC to CSULB. Students will be able to map out courses at both institutions. Students would also receive guidance from both LBCC counselors and CSULB academic advisors.

CTE Class Hits the Road
Making connections with local business and exploring the various Hospitality, Tourism and Recreation related jobs available on the Island, is a key element of our new Career Technical Education (CTE) Program. Next week CTE students will be visiting the Catalina Island Museum to learn more about how and why the Island's unique history is so important to our current tourism economy. More field trips to local businesses are planned throughout the year.
