Focused on Student Success.
Dedication to student success is Algonquin College's guiding principal and is demonstrated through the quality of its programs, staff, the continual expansion of its facilities, and by forging strategic partnerships. Every action since the College was established has been to ensure students have access to the education and skills training demanded by the marketplace to launch a rewarding career.
Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology was established in 1967 and was named after the First Nations people who lived in the area. Algonquin was formed from the merger of the Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology, established 1957, and the Ontario Vocational Centre, established 1965.
The College celebrates 42 years as a leader in post secondary education, and has undergone significant growth since its establishment and continues to grow today. All three Algonquin College Campuses are set to undergo major expansion projects. The Perth and Pembroke Campuses are building all-new facilities and the Woodroffe Campus is beginning construction on a new trades building. |
