The Bachelor of Arts - Liberal and Professional Studies program is a University of Windsor degree program which can be completed entirely at Lambton College.
The program is designed for students who strive to study a variety of fields rather than concentrating on one major subject, or who need the flexibility to take courses when their work schedules permit. Students in the program will study arts, social sciences, science or engineering and business and they may also select additional courses from as many as 25 different departments. Students will enjoy the smaller class sizes and individualized attention not common to university lectures. Distance education will be offered for certain courses, allowing for further flexibility in learning.
Students have three options when deciding where and how to take the program:
- Complete all three years at Lambton College
- Complete two years at Lambton College and two years at University of Windsor graduating with an Honours degree
- Complete two years at Lambton College and one year at University of Windsor graduating with a general degree
Further, students can then consider bridging to the Bachelor of Education – Early Childhood Education program at Lambton College, also offered collaboratively with University of Windsor. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
