Explore Our Career & Academic Pathways (CAPs)
Long Beach City College has 5 Career and Academic Pathways (CAPs)*, which are groups of related majors that lead to degrees and certificates. For those undecided about their major or career goal, selecting a CAP is an essential first step on the path to college completion. Students should declare a major within their first year at LBCC, so choosing a CAP of interest allows for more guided and deliberate exploration of careers and opportunities within a general field of study in order for this to be accomplished.
*CAPs are also known as "meta-majors".
