Overview
Lakeland College is a renowned post-secondary college in Alberta, Canada. It was established in 1911 as Vermilion farm, subsequently named the Vermilion School of Agriculture (1913), then Vermilion Agricultural and Vocational College, became Vermilion College and is now recognized as Lakeland College. Lakeland College has two campuses in Vermilion and Lloydminster. It serves over 7,000 students in an academic year.
Being the only inter-provincial college in Canada, Lakeland College serves residents of both Alberta and Saskatchewan. It is a member of College and Institutes Canada (CICAN) and the Alberta Rural Development Network.
At Lakeland College, students arrive from all around the globe. In the past few years, students from 20+ countries joined this college. We also help current students find study abroad opportunities and internships. As part of its mandate, Lakeland is also involved in projects and partnerships with other post-secondary educational institutes in Canada and around the globe.
Lakeland is a ground for innovation, supportive student services and academic excellence. With high quality, industry-relevant, affordable and accessible post-secondary educational opportunities, Lakeland is focused on how best to serve its students. Programming areas at Lakeland include agricultural sciences, business, energy, environmental sciences, fire and emergency services, early childhood education, health and wellness, human services, interior design technology, trades and technology.
Vermilion Campus:
- Lakeland began here in 1913 as the Vermilion School of Agriculture, and it still has a countryside feel: green lawns, mature trees,and as much sky as you want.
- A lot of the learning at Vermilion takes place outdoors --- on the college farm, the Emergency Training Centre's training grounds, or the environmental science programs field labs.
- But times have changed since 1913, and so has Lakeland's campus at Vermilion. Today our modern classrooms and computer labs support coursework in more than eight disciplines, including award-winning programs in interior design, trades and early learning and child care.
- Enrolment at Vermilion numbers nearly 2,000 today, with more than 500 of those students living on campus, a few minutes' walk from the classrooms. It's the more rural of our two campuses --- offering a true small-town college experience.
