Welcome to Algonquin College!

The challenges and opportunities we face in higher education have never been greater.  It is a wonderful time to be working and studying in a post secondary environment.  The good news is that there is clear evidence that a college education prepares graduates to take a real and meaningful place in this dynamic economy. 

Algonquin College has nearly 45 years of evidence that our graduates are prepared with the skills and knowledge they require to become employed in their chosen field of work.  With over 200 program areas to choose, we provide a wide variety of choice.  Our students have outstanding facilities in which to learn and take advantage of college life.  

Real world experience aligned with strong teaching skills and academic qualifications are the best predictors of an outstanding learning experience.  To that end, perhaps our key differentiator is the quality and excellence of our faculty.  

The reputation of the learning experience can be seen in the 9000 new students who joined us this fall.   It is evident in the over 150,000 alumni who can be found in every facet of community life in the Ottawa Valley and around the world.  And you can see it when you are on one of our campuses where we are enjoying some of the most progressive building and renovation projects in our history.

We look forward to welcoming you to Algonquin College.
