“When going through the university application process, Lakehead-Georgian really stuck out to me from the rest of the programs I applied to. I felt like it was going to provide me with many options to choose from when I graduate because not only will I be getting an HBSc but I will also be receiving a Biotechnology-Health diploma. Having the opportunity to receive both of these qualifications at the same time would greatly benefit my future. Additionally, I really liked the idea of having the opportunity to take both college and university courses; with this program you definitely get hands-on experience from the college side of things, while also having the opportunity to have more theory-based classes from the university side.”
