Bachelor of Science

While there are many, many options from where you go from Lakeland to complete a science degree, there are exceptions. 

This is because there are some very specific courses for these science-related programs, so you can’t transfer a full year of credits. 

These are the programs we recommend you not start at Lakeland, and why they aren’t popular transfer routes from here. For all 3 of these exceptions, you wouldn’t receive credit for a full year of courses and would need 5 years to complete your degree. 

1. Engineering: Technically you could take a full 1st year and then apply to an engineering school, but the reality is that you likely won’t get transfer credits for a full year. This means you would likely take at least 5 years to earn your degree. Combine this with competitive admission, and engineering isn’t a good fit.  
2. Kinesiology:  Requirements vary widely between universities for kinesiology or physical education degrees. Lakeland does have some of the core courses, but doesn’t offer enough physical education courses. Again, this means taking at least another year to complete your degree.  
3. Nursing: With the exception of USask, where we have a pre-professional year at Lakeland, most nursing programs are direct entry. This is because most have courses such as psychology for nurses and not just a psychology course. While transfers may be possible, you likely wouldn’t receive credit for a full year.
