Business programs |

Business at Lakeland College provides you with options in our diploma program, a general business administration major, or take a more specific area of study. Once you're accepted in the program, a business advisor will guide you in choosing electives. You pick courses that match your interests and career needs.
As well, the administrative professional certificate program is open to international students. At this time, the optional co-op summer program is not available to international students. |
Energy programs |
|
The Process and Power Engineering program combines 3rd Class power engineering and heavy oil operations to broaden your future job options beyond the oil and gas industry. Both these courses require industry practicums. You will need a work permit. |
Environmental sciences programs |
Lakeland's Environmental Sciences diploma allows you to choose from one of four majors:
Some of our students do a double major by spending one more year here. This is also a 2+2 program. This means you spend 2 years at Lakeland and get a diploma, then 2 years at university for a degree. Lakeland has transfer agreements with several universities. The applied degree and wildlife and fisheries major are not available to international students at this time. Newly added to the list of environmental programs available to international students is our online Sustainable Energy certificate and diploma program. Please note: the Sustainable Energy Technology program is geared toward professionals and delivered online. Completion of the program doesn't qualify you to apply for a Canadian PGWP. |
