Lakeland is constantly innovating to create ways for students to access their education. Lakeland’s Cooperative Education program offers a unique way to earn a bachelor’s degree. LU students work in full- or part-time positions for partner companies, giving them professional work experience and wages and scholarship dollars to reduce or eliminate post-graduation debt. Lakeland offers access to online courses for students who need more flexibility due to a full schedule with work and co-curricular. Lakeland gives students access to dozens of organizations and athletic teams, including our new esports program, led by Coach Ahman Green. Go Muskies!
