Established in 1966, Centennial College is Ontario’s first College of Applied Arts and
Technology. Centennial is recognized as one of the most culturally diverse post-secondary
institutions in Canada, with a student and employee body representing almost 100
ethno-cultural groups and speaking over 80 languages.
Our students come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, including traditional
learners, international learners, mature learners seeking to upgrade or switch
careers, those who already have a degree, learners with disabilities, and those from
underrepresented populations. As a College we are committed to creating inclusive and
collaborative learning environments that optimize the learning for every individual student.
Centennial offers a broad range of credentials that include certificates, diplomas,
advanced diplomas, baccalaureate degrees, post-graduate certificates and apprenticeship
training. In addition, we have joint/collaborative programs and onsite degree completion
opportunities with partner universities.
The Pathways Guidebook highlights Centennial College’s commitment to support a
learner’s academic journey through focused pathways that build on learning already
achieved, and provide opportunities to advance credentials with high quality, well
established educational partners.
Centennial’s Strategic Plan, our Book of Commitments and the Academic Plan all highlight
our important relationships with institutions we are proud to count as partners. Our
partners play a key role in the achievement of our vision of transforming lives
and communities through learning. As an institution, we are committed to knowledge
exchange and encouraging collaboration between academic institutions and sector
partners. We continue to be a choice destination for learners, employees, industry
and academic partners.
Your journey at Centennial College will provide a solid foundation to prepare you
for success in your chosen career and as a global citizen. As part of your journey, I
encourage you to consider the many educational pathways outlined in this guide
and the opportunities that Centennial can offer to advance your learning and build
upon your credentials.
Centennial stands by you in your lifelong and lifewide journey in preparing you for the
“future of work” and the jobs of tomorrow.
