For decades, our student leaders have been advocating for Red Deer Polytechnic to offer it’s own degrees so that students can remain in the Central Alberta area close to their families and support systems.
We are OVER THE MOON with this mornings announcement made by the Honourable Demetrios Nicolaides, Minister of Advanced Education, that starting Fall 2022 Red Deer Polytechnic will be offering it’s own Bachelor of Education Degree and a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree to follow in Fall 2023. This is indeed a great day and student leaders, past and present should be very proud.
👏👏👏
Nominations are still open for the position of President, Vice President Academic, Vice President External, and 12 Student Council positions!
*President, VP Academic, and VP External are all PAID positions!!*
