Access Programming

Humanities 101 is a community based outreach program, which ensures that community members, who have a love of learning, have access to a university-level educational experience despite financial or social barriers.

We work to benefit the community and its members through education and the development of knowledge, transferable skills, and self-empowerment. We provide a healthy and supportive environment where you, the student, can experience the excitement and benefits of a post-secondary education without the costs.

Building on Humanities 101, Humanities 201 allows for graduates of Humanities 101 to continue their lifelong learning journey and remain connected to a supportive community as alumni of a Lakehead University ancillary program. Programming involves two events per semester. In the recent past, we have had events addressing food security, health, and Indigenous cultures.

The Indigenous Nursing Entry Program (INEP) is an eight-month program intended for learners of North American Indigenous ancestry who have not met the regular or mature learner entry requirements for the Bachelor of Science, Nursing (BScN) program at Lakehead University.

The Indigenous Transition Year Program (ITYP) is intended for learners of Indigenous ancestry who have not met the regular or mature university entry requirements or who require academic preparation to become eligible for admission to a Lakehead University program.
