The counseling faculty at LACC advises students wth respect to course selection pertaining to their educational goals (e.g., certificate program, associate degree, transfer to a university). Counselors provide career/major exploration for students from diverse backgrounds. Our trained staff supports students in their academic, career, and personal endeavors. We encourage students to become vested members in the academic community and utilize the vast resources at Los Angeles City College.
