Your major is the field you select that interests you most and that you will concentrate your studies in. All students must choose a major before completing the Academic Program and will study that field in the Bachelor's Degree Program.
A minor is a field you select that interests you the most after your major and that you will take special classes in. Depending on the major you may or may not have to select a minor. When selecting a minor, you might choose a field that is closely related to your major to broaden the focus of your studies or you could choose a field that is completely unrelated to your major and simply study what interests you most.
At Lakeland College, there are 6 departments (Business Administration, Humanities, Art, Sociology and Natural Science) and 40 majors to choose from. You can study the field that suits you the most.
At Lakeland College, studying is not a process of students listening and professor speaking, but rather a process where students and professors are on equal ground and think about topics together. Professors pass their knowledge on to their students, and the students pass that knowledge on to the next generation. Lakeland College has held to this ideal since its establishment.
Even courses in the Bachelor's Degree Program are limited to 20 students per class. Students exchange opinions and ideas with professors and classmates, share their knowledge and carry out technical analyses. Small groups work on problems together and make presentations based on their research. Various types of exercises are employed which can only be done in classes with small numbers.
In the United States, it is generally understood that the most advanced research is reserved for graduate school. For that reason, many students go on to graduate school.
At Lakeland College, there are Graduate School Preparation Courses for students wishing to go on to graduate school to study medicine, law, dentistry or theology.
In these courses, students will build the foundation for studying at the graduate school level by performing the studies necessary to pass the entrance exam and taking foundational courses for the field they will be studying in addition to the general advanced coursework.
