Business trip next week? Kids’ soccer tournament? You suddenly need to stay late to finish a project? Life has a way of altering “normal” weekly routines and interfering with regularly scheduled class times.

You’ll simply call it the most flexible and convenient way to earn a degree—on your own terms and anywhere you want to learn. BlendEd lets you choose your learning options each week:
Get off to a faster start at Lakeland with maximum transfer credit. We carefully review courses previously completed at accredited institutions, as well as through the Wisconsin Technical College System. We accept as many of your earned credits as possible, putting you ahead of the game, right from the start.
Lakeland University has a long history of creating innovative programs to position students for post-graduation success. Lakeland values work and the learning that students accomplish in the workplace. Many students come to the classroom with a wealth of knowledge and experience from their professional lives. With Lakeland University’s Student-Designed emphasis/concentration and our Cooperative Design courses, you can earn academic credit toward your degree for existing and future work projects that benefit you and your employer.
With Lakeland's Corporate Partnership program, opportunity awaits those ready to return to the classroom. Take advantage of Lakeland University's Corporate Partnership program and maintain your competitive edge with a bachelor's or master's degree, tailored for the busy/working adult. If you are employed by - or are an immediate family member of someone employed by - one of our corporate partners, you may be eligible to receive discounted tuition rates (20% on undergraduate courses, 10% on graduate courses).
Students enrolled in the Kellett School of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies now have access to emotional support services at Lakeland University through a peer-to-peer support program we call the Lakeland University Support Initiative, or LUSI.
