About ITS
Required Classwork
LTC's Individualized Technical Studies (ITS)
associate degree is designed for working adults
with unique backgrounds and educational needs
that can't be met by the college's existing
associate degree programs.

ITS Core Classes
Electives
ITS gives you the option to create your own
associate degree program. Let's say you want to
earn a degree that combines fire science with
management—not a problem. Or, let's say you
want a learning experience that focuses on
marketing techniques as well as graphic design—
you can make it happen at LTC.
As an ITS student, you'll work with an
occupational mentor of your choosing, an
educational advisor, a program counselor, and
college faculty to design an academically sound,
student- and industry-specific program that
incorporates your appropriate prior learning
experiences—things like traditional classes and
knowledge learned on the job.
