ESCANABA — For nearly 30 years, Bay College and Lake Superior State University (LSSU) have united together to offer baccalaureate degree programs for students in the Escanaba and surrounding areas. Representatives from LSSU’s Sault campus visited Bay College’s campus on Nov. 6 to explore opportunities to better service the needs of the community.

“LSSU is proud of its long term commitment to students in the Escanaba and Iron Mountain areas,” said LSSU Provost Lynn Gillette. “Our teamwork with Bay College provides smooth transfer pathways and a quality education at an affordable price. Bay students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to successfully complete any LSSU bachelor degree.”

LSSU currently offers degrees in accounting, business, criminal justice, early childhood education, general studies, and nursing, all through Bay College’s Escanaba and Iron Mountain branch. Other majors that begin at Bay and then finish on LSSU’s main campus — often while providing intermediate associate degrees — are being developed. For more information on degree programs available, contact Heidi Berg at 906-217-4123 or hberg@lssu.edu, or visit www.lssu.edu/regional-center.
