At Durham College, we work hard to find out what matters to our students and
ensure that it all comes together for you here. That's probably why more and
more students choose to make Durham College their home away from home - after
all we've been doing this for more than 40 years. That's over four decades of
teaching students everything they need to succeed in the workplace and get what
they want most after graduation - a rewarding career.
Our professors
come to us with years of experience working in their field and help ensure our
programs provide you with the skills employers are looking for. Our programs
offer you hands-on experience so you are ready to work as soon as you graduate.
That explains why over 90.7 per cent of our 2008 grads were employed within six
months of graduation - the highest employment rate of any college in the Greater
Toronto Area.
With more than 100 different full-time programs focused on
employer demand and developed in conjunction with advisory committees that
include business and industry experts who bring a real-life perspective to your
academic experience - we give you everything you need to succeed in the
workplace.
Our Oshawa campus is home to the:
73,000-square-foot
Campus Library;
Integrated Manufacturing Centre;
Centre for Integrated
Justice Studies;
State-of-the-art Dental Clinic;
High-tech simulation
nursing lab;
200-seat Learning Commons; and Much more.
Our Whitby campus
includes:

that will include:
New programs focused on new-energy careers;
A retrofit
of the campus to become energy efficient and energy producing;
An innovation
incubator for new energy; and
Access to faculty expertise and campus
equipment to help alternative power inventors and innovators bring their ideas
from concept to prototype.
High-tech plumbing mezzanine; and Fully

experience.
In order to meet the needs of tomorrow's leaders, Durham
College is growing.
Since 2008, the college has been undergoing a
comprehensive expansion process, including a three-phase Whitby campus expansion
as well as the addition of new spaces to the Oshawa campus.
This includes
building state-of-the-art laboratories and classroom spaces and making room for
energy-efficient technology. Not only are the campuses expanding physically, but
the college is also adding in-demand programs to respond to the ever-changing
marketplace of the region, province and country.
This site contains
details regarding the extensive renovations to both the Oshawa and Whitby
campuses, as well as future curriculum to be offered at the college, photos of
the expansion as it takes shape and additional information.
Join us on
the road to success. Durham College - building for our
future!
Vision:
Durham College, along with its community partners, the
provincial and federal governments and private donors, is working to ensure that
students have access to the latest equipment and best learning spaces possible,
thereby remaining true to its commitment to provide them with the skills
demanded by today's employers. |
