Avenues of Admissions

International Students (High School Graduates)

What does it take to join LCJ? Lakeland eagerly looks beyond just testing, scores and your GPA. Though all colleges have their standard requirements, we know it’s the passion and effort to change and make new paths that leads to a real college education.

LCJ offers enrollment three times each year. In keeping our devotion to personalized education through small class sizes, it is always recommended to apply early in your senior year of high school.

Our application is available online, as well as additional details and information regarding our admissions, visa process, deadlines, tuition and costs.

All students must submit their:

  1. High School Transcripts
  2. ACT or SAT scores
  3. Graduation Certificate/Diploma (once obtained)
  4. Personal Essay of Interest
** Students currently residing in Japan must also complete an entrance interview at the LCJ campus. Dates are arranged according to when the documents have been submitted completely.

Upon submission of all documents your application will be reviewed. Our admissions staff is ready to help you every step of the way, so contact us for more information any time!

Japanese Students

Ready to start your American college experience right here at home? Depending on your English and academic background, Japanese students may apply directly to either Lakeland’s college program or English for Academic Purposes program.

Please visit our Japanese website at www.japan.lakeland.edu for further details, requesting information materials or to talk with any of our Japanese admissions staff.

Pre-Academic (English for Academic Purposes - EAP) Students

For those students who may need a semester or more to brush up their English or study skills, to those who want to start from the very basics, LCJ’s “EAP” program is here to prepare you for the full “American classroom experience”.

The same as our college program admissions, students need to submit their high school transcripts and graduation certificate/diploma. A personal essay, as well as an English examination and interview (in English or Japanese) will help us find the right level for you to begin your studies in this program.

** Students applying from outside Japan will not need to take the English examination or interview for admissions.

Transfer Students

LCJ does accept transfer students under specific conditions and evaluations. High school transcripts, graduation certificate/diploma, and transcripts from your current institution will be required. In addition, a personal essay and English proficiency exam scores (ACT, SAT, TOEFL, IELTS) may be required. Contact our admissions staff to find out more on how to continue your higher education at LCJ.

Non-Traditional Students

For those who are looking for only part-time studies, LCJ may be the place for you! High school transcripts, graduation certificates/diplomas, a personal essay and English proficiency are required. An interview may also be required after evaluation of your application.

** Students needing a student visa may not apply as a non-traditional student.

Military Benefits for Students

LCJ is proud to accept students with military benefits. The admissions requirements will be the same as other full-time applicants (see admissions requirements for International Students), with the addition of your military benefit documents. Contact our admissions office and begin your college education with the benefits you have earned!
