Georgian College

Are you ready to Experience Georgian?

Georgian College is more than just a postsecondary institution – it’s a transformative experience that connects you to the skills you need, the mindset to succeed and the confidence to thrive.

As a recognized leader in student work experience, we believe in the power of real-world opportunities – experiences that take you out of the classroom and immerse you in your industry. That’s why 100% of our programs emphasize practical, hands-on learning. More than 5,000 students enrol in co-op with one of our 6,200 employer partners each year.

As Canada’s first and only recognized changemaker college (by Ashoka U), we offer an inclusive community with a passion for social innovation, changemaking and bringing ideas to life.

Whether you’ve just finished high school or are returning to your studies as a mature student, there’s something for every interest at Georgian:

more than 130 career-focused programs – degrees, diplomas, certificates, graduate certificates
college degrees with work placements
innovative four-year combined degree-diploma programs with partner universities
articulations and transfer agreements with institutions around the world
a wide assortment of part-time studies offerings with flexible delivery options
