Lakeland is constantly innovating to create ways to provide students access to education. Lakeland’s Cooperative Education program offers students a unique way to earn a bachelor’s degree. Lakeland students work in full-time, academic credit-bearing positions for partner companies, earning 12-18 months of professional work experience to get ahead of the competition come graduation time. Between scholarships and wages, co-op students can significantly reduce or eliminate post-graduation debt. Lakeland offers small classes on its main campus, as well as access to online courses for students who need more flexibility due to a full schedule with work and co-curriculars.
