When Lakeland College opened in 1913, there were only 34 students enrolled. Today, we have two campuses and nearly 7,000 full and part-time students, but Lakeland is as tight knit as ever. Our classes are small, so your instructors get to know you, not just your name, but also your wants, needs, hopes, and fears. They can sense when to challenge you and when to cut you some slack. If you have a question or a concern, the door’s always open. And if you need a place to board your horses for the summer, an extra ticket to the basketball game, or a recommendation letter for a job application, the door’s probably open for that, too. Lakeland’s comfortable setting allows you to focus on learning. Our award winning programs are designed to ease your transition into the work force and/or further study at a four year institution. You’ll get a university calibre education here, but without the red tape, the big crowds, and the distractions.
