Centennial College Has Almost 50 Years of Experience in
Producing Professionals
Attending college is a memorable experience for anyone. Some applicants may have just
completed high school and have a perfect idea of the field in which they want to work.
Others, meanwhile, may be returning to school after some time away to upgrade their skills
or switch fields all together. Others still may be sent back to school by their employer to
keep up with an evolving industry. In any case, students who attend college benefit from
features that are unique to this type of education when compared to a university option.
Colleges offer small classes that allow for one-on-one time with instructors as well as
spirited class debates, lower tuition and an emphasis on hands-on application of the theory
that students learn during the course of their studies.
A very respected community college in Ontario is based in Toronto. Centennial College
first opened to the public in 1966 and, therefore, has almost 50 years of experience in
training students, keeping programs totally relevant and forging relationships with external
organizations that may not only help to enhance students' college experience but also hire
students once they graduate. This institution offers students a host of credentials through
part-time and full-time college courses that include: advanced diplomas, diplomas,
advanced diplomas, certificates, graduate certificates and, in a few instances, Bachelor
degrees. The type of credential depends on the length of the program. Degree programs take
four years to complete, advanced diplomas take three, diplomas take two, certificates and
graduate certificates typically take a year or less.
Regardless of the resulting credential, students can be sure they are receiving job-focused,
practical training that will hold up in the workforce. This is achieved through various hands-
on applications, depending on the program, that may include: presentations, projects, case
studies, software training, research projects, lab experience, simulated training as well as
field experience through field placement, co-op and more.
There are more than 100 full-time programs and more than 135 part-time programs offered
for students who can physically attend classes at one of Centennial College's four campuses.
These programs fall under six umbrellas: Business, Community and Health Studies,
Technology and Applied Science, Hospitality Tourism and Culture as well as
Communications, Media and Design. Thanks to such a diverse range, this community
college sees enrollment rates of 16,000 full-time students and 22,000 part-time learners.

Meanwhile, for those who can't, for whatever reason, make it to class on campus, there are
Distance Learning options, which fall under two categories that are designed to offer
students flexibility. The first is online courses during which students complete their classes
online in a predetermined period of time. They communicate with their instructors and
fellow students via email and online discussions and forums. Meanwhile, Printed-Based
college courses see materials mailed to students at the beginning of the semester, to also be
completed within a certain period of time. Should they require assistance, students can
communicate with designated instructors.
