School of Interdisciplinary Studies
Peter Lapp, University Transfer Program Coordinator and students
The programs within the School of Interdisciplinary Studies are structured to help students realize a broad range of academic goals.
The Academic Upgrading program provides a pathway for students to obtain their Grade 12 Equivalency or pre-requisites required to apply to a college program.
General Arts and Science preparatory programs such College Health Science and Preparatory Health Science enable students to acquire the necessary background to go on to further study in health care, or forensic sciences.
The unique University Transfer program, designed in collaboration with Trent University, allows students to develop the skills needed to determine a focus for future studies and to go on to university studies.
