MHC, NLC establish partnership, increasing access across AB

Medicine Hat College and Northern Lakes College have established a partnership that will expand access for learners across Alberta. The institutions signed a Memorandum of Agreement signifying their commitment to increasing regional access and delivering programming by Fall 2020. Using NLC’s Supported Distance Learning model, each college will offer the other college’s programming in their service region. “Northern Lakes College and Medicine Hat College are setting an excellent example for Alberta’s post-secondary system,” said Demetrios Nicolaides, AB Minister of Advanced Education. “I fully support all efforts to foster collaboration and reduce duplication, to improve student services and cut red tape, and to ensure programming meets the needs of the communities and regional economies served by both colleges.” MHC (AB)
