Types of Program Delivery
Lakeland College students aren't just found on campus.
While there's no experience quite like being in classes and labs with other students, circumstances sometimes mean that isn't an option for everyone.
In addition to face-to-face delivery, Lakeland also offers:
- blended learning
- online learning
- synchronous online learning
- asynchronous online learning
Discover what's involved in each of these modes of program delivery.
