Do you want the best of both worlds? With LCP, you can!

Languages and cultures for professions, also known as LCP, is a way for you to pursue a professional track degree without losing your connection to the world. Our LCP students love our program for its practicality, flexibility, and global career possibilities.

The primary objective of LCP is to provide learning environments where you can achieve global literacy, linguistic proficiency, and intercultural competence. In the LCP curriculum, you will learn how professions are shaped by social and cultural forces and, alternatively, how professions shape society. You will experience living and working in diverse cultural settings through study abroad and internship opportunities offered through the LCP program and/or in collaboration with your respective primary-major colleges or the ISU Study Abroad Center.
