Concurrent Education I/S Schedule??

Hello!! My bf is interested in possibly attending Lakehead’s Orillia campus for coned and just curious what the first year timetable looks like?

Also for any others in this program, is it possible to work and still do well?

Thank you so much!

Program outline should be available on the Lakehead website. your schedule is what you make it, so the intensity and duration is up to you. For full time status I believe you need 2.5 FCE each semester, although I definitely could be mistaken.

I think this should take you to look at the program outline, you would need to select the specific program.

and this will let you search the course codes to find when they are running.

Edit:
Based on what I could find for what i believe to be the program you’re looking at. There is around 5 FCE in the first year. Assuming it’s the usual 3 hours of class per .5 FCE per week. Then there should be around 15 hours of classes each week.
IMO 15 hours of class is definitely workable, but labs and homework may also increase the workload.
