Georgian College and Lakehead University have announced a new direction for their partnership that will expand postsecondary education opportunities for students in Central and Northern Ontario. Beginning in 2025, graduates from Georgian’s diploma programs will have access to 30+ academic transfer pathways, guaranteeing them admission to select Lakehead undergraduate programs in Orilla and Thunder Bay. This will ensure that graduates can seamlessly transition between Georgian and Lakehead. The partners will gradually phase out the delivery of four combined degree-diploma programs. “Although we are changing the way that we deliver education, future students still have access to the same degree and diploma programming,” said Georgian President Kevin Weaver.
