Loyalist College

Why choose small? We’ll give you 10 good reasons:

1. Small classes, big difference.
   At Loyalist, you’re a name, not a number. Small classes mean that you get more one-on-one time with faculty and hands-on experience working with the latest tools and equipment. We want you to enter the workforce with confidence, knowing that you’ve learned from industry experts and have the skills you need for success in your chosen career field.

2. Small college, big opportunities, huge network.
   At Loyalist, learning goes beyond the classroom. Enrich your education with work placements, field trips, trade shows, work-integrated learning, guest speakers and community events. Our faculty members can open doors to valuable workplace connections, industry events, local and international placement opportunities and, quite possibly, to your next job (high five!).

3. We're kind of a big deal when it comes to applied research.
   Get access to the latest tools and technologies, learning resources and realistic practice environments that prepare you to be confident and effective in the workplace. Gain hands-on experience working with state-of-the-art technology in our biosciences labs and skilled trades workshops, engage in interactive education in our interprofessional simulation labs, and bring learning to life in our fully integrated Digital Media Centre.

4. Over $1M in student financial support annually.
   Cost should never be a barrier to your studies. That’s why we provide more than $700,000 each year through government- and donor-supported student awards, bursaries and scholarships. In addition, we can connect you with government-supported specialty funds and offer on-campus employment opportunities. Together, that’s more than $1M per year in funding to students.

5. Future-focused learning centres and technologies.
   We’re committed to investing in our infrastructure to create innovative learning spaces with state-of-art technologies to help you prepare for the jobs of tomorrow. Some of our new spaces include culinary and spa facilities, a technology-based makerspace, athletic facilities and a health and wellness centre.

6. Small college. More care.
   At Loyalist, we’re here for you – personally and professionally. We offer a range of services, opportunities and resources to support you in getting the most out of your college experience:

7. Small town, big heart.

   With locations in Belleville, Port Hope, Bancroft and Tyendinaga, Loyalist College is proud to be part of vibrant and friendly communities that boast small-town warmth, charming waterfronts and historic richness.

8. Don’t go big. Come home.

We know that you will feel right at home on campus with our small, friendly community. Your college experience is more than a diploma. Try new things. Make mistakes. Meet people. Grow. At Loyalist, there are a range of opportunities to help you discover your passion, refine your skills and make valuable connections:
