Lakehead University

The Faculty of Business Administration offers two undergraduate degree programs: (a) The Honours Bachelor of Commerce degree, a four year program after Ontario OAC. (b) The Bachelor of Administration degree, a one year program after completion of the first two years of the Honours Bachelor of Commerce program. Each program has been designed to meet the educational needs of a wide variety of people. The first two years of the Honours Bachelor of Commerce program reflect an underlying belief that effective management and administrative practices are essential in an increasingly complex and changing society. The central objective of both programs is to prepare participants to more effectively deal with this complexity and change. Hence, the Faculty places substantial emphasis on recent developments and techniques and focuses on the future. Using a varied mix of teaching techniques including the case study method, computer games and simulations, reading seminars, group project work, role-playing, and traditional text and lecture methods, participants are exposed to learning situations which increase both their analytical skills and their flexibility in decision-making.

Teacher Education at Lakehead University is built upon the assumption that the primary objective of teaching is to foster and direct learning by students. Programs in the Faculty of Education are designed to assist prospective teachers to gain the skills, knowledge and attitudes which support effective teaching. Four elements characterize the Faculty’s programs: i)A foundation in liberal studies considered likely to foster the intellectual curiosity, creativity and broad knowledge necessary for effective teaching. ii)The study of human learning and development, within their social and cultural context, in relation to instructional and management techniques within educational settings. iii)The study of curriculum and methods of instruction. iv)The opportunity to observe effective teaching and to apply and develop instructional approaches in classroom settings through supervised practice teaching.

Lakehead University\'s Faculty of Engineering has designed undergraduate engineering programs that are unique in Canada. The curriculum combines diploma programs in Engineering Technology with Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree programs. The first stage of the program consists of two years of study for the regular university applicant and leads to a diploma in the student\'s choice of specialization in Engineering Technology. (Note: high school graduates with the Ontario grade 12 or equivalent require three years of study, including a common first year.) The Faculty offers specialization in chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical and software engineering. After graduating with a diploma in Engineering Technology, students may seek employment as an engineering technologist or enter the Post-Diploma Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree program. Students are required to apply for entry to the second stage which leads to the BEng degree in two years. The two stages provide a BEng in four years of study. Students study mathematics, sciences, engineering sciences and engineering design in both stages. In the degree program, students can choose from a range of engineering electives and complementary studies electives. The study and practice of engineering design is emphasized throughout, including a major senior year project course. The two-year BEng programs attract graduate engineering technologists, who enrich the programs with their industrial experience. The following Undergraduate programs are offered: Stage One: Diploma in Engineering Technology Stage Two: Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op education/internship option available)

Modern forestry is a dynamic pure and applied science that is essential to the ecological and economic health of Canada and the world. As active members of an environmentally concerned public, we have designed programs which reflect the great variety of values - such as preservational, conservational, cultural, recreational and financial - found in the forest resource. In our programs, you will learn how to be a problem solver, decision maker and communicator. You will study the biological and social aspects of wise forest management, as well as concentrate on advanced areas of forestry practice such as resource conservation, forest biology, wood science, tree health, forest protection, harvesting, mensuration, silviculture, social forestry, community forestry, and the use of the latest computer technology and remote sensing. Forestry at Lakehead comes naturally.
