It is an academic model in which the time it takes to demonstrate competencies varies, while the expectations about learning are held constant. Students demonstrate mastery through multiple forms of assessment, often at a personalized pace. Once all competencies for this program have been assessed and mastered, students earn their technical diploma. 

Interested students should consult the Lakeshore website for program and admission requirements. Students will be admitted to the program and receive financial aid through Lakeshore.
