sports leagues; corporate health and wellness programs;
personal training; sports marketing, advertising and promotion;
community recreation centers; and increased sports opportunities

International Experiences
Lake Erie College encourages all students to participate
in international experiences. Students may wish to spend
a semester at one of our "sister" institutions,
earning credits towards their degree while learning about
other peoples and cultures. Other international opportunities
for students are Study Tours. Study Tours are two-week trips
that full-time students may take their Junior or Senior
year. Most of the cost of the trip is included within tuition.
