Collaborative programs combine the best of College and University opportunities!  This means you will:

• Earn 2 credentials:  a Bachelors Degree and a Certificate or Diploma!

• Allows for academic/theoretical learning AND practical experience and skill development.

• Learn in both a college and university settings, with class sizes ranging from 30-500 people. 

• Complete many compulsory courses to meet the requirements of both the degree and the diploma/certificate.

Each Collaborative program will differ in their specifics for type of learning required, how long the program is, and what it costs.  Here are the main facts:

• Each program is between 4-5 years long.

• You will spend part of your time at a College and part of your time at a University, usually 2 years at each.

• Most programs have a “co-op” or work experience opportunity.  This provides students the opportunity to engage in work experience connected to learning.

• Average tuition cost per year is $5,500.

Completing a Collaborative Program saves students at least one year of time to earn 2 credentials!  It is also cheaper because they are combined in your yearly tuition!
