Engineering Certificate
The Certificate in Engineering is an intense undergraduate credential that requires courses in the areas of chemistry, computer programming, communications, engineering design, math, and physics.
This credential allows for seamless, guaranteed transfer into second-year engineering programs at the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Engineering at second year. NLC students are responsible for understanding the terms and conditions of transfer to the UofA. For example, while second-year admission with a minimum GPA is guaranteed, competitive placement in specific second-year engineering disciplines applies to all students.
