Program Description
Students in the Northern Lakes College University Transfer
Program benefit from a well-rounded education in a small
supportive classroom environment. Program advisors
work with students to plan a program of study, and
instructors and course tutors prepare students to meet the
challenges of a university education. Students may choose
to select courses and focus study toward the completion of
a Northern Lakes College diploma, or they may design a
program of study to complete up to two years of transfer
credit toward a number of degree programs from other
post-secondary institutions.
As well, students who are interested in the Health Careers
Programs such as Practical Nurse, Addiction Services
Worker or Social Work Programs can complete some of
their university transfer credits through the University
Studies Program. Students who would like to get a head
start on one of these professional studies programs are
encouraged to meet with a University Transfer Program
Advisor. Students who are interested in the next offering
of the Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (ATEP)
should meet with a program advisor to begin preparing
immediately.
Contact the Program Advisor for a list of current course
offerings.
Employment Opportunities
University Studies courses are transferable courses taken
by students on the path to a diploma in programs such as
the Practical Nurse and Social Work. University studies
courses are also taken by students in order to complete a
Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Social Work degree,
and many other undergraduate degree programs at other
post-secondary institutions.
Further Education & Training Options
University credits are transferable to a number of postsecondary
institutions in Alberta; refer to the Alberta
Transfer Guide or on-line at transferalberta.ca. Transfer

These credits also meet requirements of other NLC

Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (ATEP).
