Overview

There are countless benefits of Open Studies, just one of them is flexibility. Open Studies gives students the unique opportunity to experience more than one program at a time. Students in Open Studies enroll in individual courses rather than a complete program. This makes it a great option for those looking to take general interest courses or those who don't quite meet the entrance requirements for a specific program. At Portage College, Open Studies can open doors for students who want to explore potential career paths in various fields like: Practical Nursing, Environmental Technologist and Community Social Work. The program's goal is to help each student acquire a well-rounded general education with strong skills in a variety of areas. Benefits for students: Students choose the courses that will place them on their pathway to success Experience the benefits of a program designed as a bridge to help students choose the right path Lighten academic course load when planning future full-time studies Gain admission requirements to other programs at Portage College or other post-secondary institutions The Open Studies option is available to students at any of the main campus locations on either a full-lime or part­-time basis. PLEASE NOTE: Admission requirements vary by individual course, so students interested in this option must meet with a Student Advisor before enrolling. Please Note: This program is not eligible for post-graduate work permit (PGWP).
