Lakeland coursework will be offered at the MATC locations and will use Lakeland’s popular BlendEd LIVE and Online LIVE formats. These formats allow students to decide week-to-week if they wish to attend class in the physical classroom or online, and are among the most flexible offered in higher education. Lakeland advisors will have a presence at each MATC campus.
This partnership that will help elevate students in this region by removing barriers to a bachelor’s degree. It follows the successes of innovative programs in other states, adapted to the needs of our institutions.
Lakeland University offers innovative ways for students to earn their academic degrees and make their career goals a reality. As an MATC graduate, you are awarded many benefits.
MATC students will have access to Lakeland’s Cooperative Education program, which creates full- and part-time job opportunities for students through co-op partner employers and tackles the student debt issue. MATC students can earn college credit for their work experiences and earn wages to help pay for school, putting them in a position to reduce or eliminate post-graduation tuition debt.
This co-op model is unique to Lakeland and we’re excited to be able to expand it to MATC students. Lakeland's co-op and credit-for-prior-learning options recognize the importance of work and experiential learning, and students are earning impressive work experience with global companies.
