IT Sligo and Canadore College have signed a new agreement to expand degree pathways for students graduating from the Canadian college’s environmental technician and biotechnology technician programmes.
The partnership gives graduates holding a two-year diploma from Canadore’s environmental and biotechnology advanced standing in IT Sligo’s BSc in Environmental Protection and BSc in Biomedical Science courses with the ability to earn a degree with an additional two semesters of study. They are also eligible to study two more semesters to achieve a BSc Honours degree in either discipline.
Canadore College is a college of applied arts and technology, situated in Ontario, Canada. It has four campuses and is one of several institutions to establish degree pathway agreements with IT Sligo.
“This collaboration is important on a number of fronts,” said Lisa McCool-Philbin, dean of Canadore College’s School of Environmental and Biotechnology Studies. “At Canadore, we endeavour to provide our students with experiential learning, meaningful academic pathways to support their career aspirations and we complement them with learning opportunities to enhance world views that are beneficial to employers.”
The arrangement will enhance learning and enrichment experiences for students and faculty from both institutions, advance the quality of career-oriented postsecondary education training and applied research, as well as provide professional development opportunities for employees from Canadore and IT Sligo.
“We are delighted to expand our extensive Colleges Ontario institutional partnerships to now include Canadore College,” said Patrick Lynch, International Manager at IT Sligo.
“Our partnership provides flexible, full credit transfer degree completion pathways (full-time and on-line) to Canadore College students. Applicants can apply for admission to the relevant IT Sligo degree programme via our local representatives, KOM Consultants, based in Hamilton, Ontario.
