Fleming students graduating from the college’s Fish and Wildlife Technician, Ecosystem Management Technician and Environmental Technician diploma programs will receive seven credits toward a 20-credit degree in Environmental and Resource Science from Trent University.

This long-standing partnership between Trent and Fleming gives students the opportunity to further their education at the University level. Pathway programs make this future transfer process more accessible and streamlined.

“This new agreement will provide students the opportunity to benefit from both hands-on learning and theoretical teaching, preparing students for success in fields that are growing across Canada,” said Fleming College President Maureen Adamson.

Dr. Stephen Hill, director of the Trent School of the Environment, says that studying at both the college and university level brings unique benefits.

“In the environmental sector, in particular, having both a strong foundation of theoretical knowledge and the technical skills and abilities to put that knowledge and thinking into action opens up career opportunities for college-to-university transfer graduates.”
