Environmental Technician Diploma to Honours Bachelor of Science (Water Resource Science major) Degree Transfer Program

Program Information

The Water Resource Science program offers valuable knowledge and necessary skills to enable Lakehead graduates to achieve water related careers, protecting and advocating for our most valuable resource. This science based program produces graduates who will have the knowledge and skills necessary to solve programs concerning the natural environment.

Practical Nursing Diploma to Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree Transfer Program

Program Information

Nursing is a profession that blends science with caring, and technology with humanity. Nurse researchers study the science and the art of caring. Nurse clinicians use technology to improve their nursing care. Whether in the hospital, in the school, in long term care, in industry, in the community or in the home, nurses make a difference. You too will make a difference at Lakehead University. At Lakehead University, we offer a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) program. We also offer a three-year compressed BScN program. In the compressed program, you will be required to enroll in spring/summer courses; however, this fast-tracked program allows you to write the Nurse Registration Examination one year earlier than students in the four-year program.

How the Transfer Program Works

All applicants must meet the prerequisite requirements. This includes the following Ontario Grade 12 university-level courses or equivalent: English (ENG4U), Biology (SBI4U), Chemistry (SCH4U) and Mathematics (MCV4U, MDM4U or MHF4U).

In many instances, applicants tend to be deficient in Chemistry and Mathematics. All applicants are encouraged to speak with Student Central regarding their eligibility.
