Laurentian University
Laurentian University, one of the best online schools in Canada, takes pride in its unique educational vision, which reflects its location in Northern Ontario. It is the only university in Canada with a bilingual and tricultural mandate, offering courses in English and French with a focus on meeting the postsecondary needs of Indigenous students.
Online certification and professional development Microcredentials include a variety of disciplines, including fingerprint identification and analysis, fire scene management and investigation, cardiac care, palliative care, and survey design. Laurentian Online has Canada's most bilingual (English and French) distance education programs. Visualize the possibilities.
Laurentian Online offers a similarly diverse selection of 26 degree programs and over 350 courses, including undergraduate degrees in criminology, sociology, forensic identification, business administration, and Indigenous social work, as well as an MBA and Primary Care Nurse Practitioner M.Sc. program.
Courses provide you the freedom to complete a comprehensive program of study or supplement on-campus learning. Enrolling online allows you to move ahead, keep up, or catch up on your studies at your own pace.
Laurentian University's online model is largely asynchronous, with no scheduled classes. Students can study at their own pace — the school suggests 15-20 hours per week per subject for academics — but assignments have deadlines, and courses must be completed within specific academic periods.
Some courses require a final in-person exam. However, students with specific distance restrictions can take an invigilated exam at an approved site. Courses are given using the Desire2Learn or D2L Brightspace platform, a popular Canadian-born learning management system (LMS) that simplifies and intuitively facilitates online learning and communication among students and instructors.
