University Transfer: Learning in Action
Classrooms and labs are what you expect in university. And you’ll spend time in both when you take university transfer at Lakeland>
But you’ll benefit from having more elbow room and up-to-the-minute technologies in our labs. Our average is over 27 hours per course in labs,
Put theory into action, developing key skills that will help you complete your degree.
Two of our most popular transfer routes are education and science. Take a look at the photo gallery of activities.
Bachelor of Education
Depending on your courses and the degree you're pursuing, you could find yourself:
- creating an interactive math game and sharing it at a grade 3 Math Fair
- exploring movement activities with elementary and secondary aged students in their school gym
- experiencing educational settings in Mexico

The course is called higher arithmetic, but one of its projects involves grade three students. One and sometimes two math fairs are held at local schools, for prospective teachers to learn more about how youngster learn math. What did the UT students learn?

PEDS 293 is a study of developmentally appropriate movement activities for children. As a student, you'll try out some of those activities with your classmates. Then you'll work with children either at their school or in the Lakeland gym. It's all part of learning how important physical education is to elementary-aged students and to gain insight into different levels of physical development. PEDS 294 covers secondary-aged students. |
Bachelor of Science
Lakeland's biology, physics and chemistry labs are state-of-the art. Why not take a virtual tour of the Lloydminster campus, or come and visit yourself.
While you might equate science with microscopes and test tubes, those aren't the only kind of labs our science students have.
Local parks and geographic formations are two field lab locations.
See the photo galleries that cover both indoor and outdoor labs.

| Surveying the Cretaceous |
|
An annual field trip to nearby Lea Park allows Earth Sciences students to see erosion of a Cretaceous-aged formation by the Vermilion River. Students also take field measurements and collected samples from the river to determine its sediment capacity. |
| Alkenes from alcohol |

Chemistry students performed the acid-catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol to produce cyclohexene. Cyclohexanol is a colorless thick liquid or sticky solid used to make nylon, paint and varnishes or a solvent to degrease. Their goal was to make an alkene, a hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond. Cyclohexen is a colourless liquid used in a number of manufacturing processes.

For Bio 108 Ecology Christina Crews did an independent research project. She learned more than she expected by comparing two different areas of Bud Miller park's forest.
Everyone takes English
No matter your degree path, you'll need to take English.
At Lakeland, it isn't a chore. From work groups to acting out a Shakespeare play, you won't just be reading.
| Acting Shakespeare |
|
In Introductory English Literature, you'll study Shakespeare's comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream. You won't just read the play, you'll do exercises to examine how the text relates to physical drama and the meaning of the scene. And in the case of comedy focus on the importance of the audience in interpreting the humour. |
